Media Reviews

"Though the tone of the entries ranges from comic to poignant and will resonate with readers to varying degrees, all convey a remarkable candor and eagerness to reach out to boys." - Publishers Weekly. "All in all, it's fun to read true stories from the lives of well-loved authors, and these fellas certainly know how to spin a yarn." - Booklist
