Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Up to No Good is a collection of hysterical stories from grown men about the havoc they wreaked when they were boys. Nothing is sacred in this collection that makes Eddie Haskall look like a goody two shoes — terrified nuns, electric fences, science classes gone bad — the list goes on and on. The storytellers are puportedly "perfectly decent grown men," although judging from these tales that's hard to believe. It's impossible to flip through the pages without remembering some of your own pranks — and punishments — and cringing at the thought of the poor adults who had to grin and bear it. For all the former bad boys who've been ensconced in corner offices and carpool caravans across the country, here's a great way to jog a heretofore selective memory and recall a time when gross was good and mischief was there for the making.

Review:

"This book brought back some memories, not quite as rascally as some of the things these kids did. I enjoyed it, and I think that anyone, teen or older, who could look back and laugh at himself as a young child would enjoy this book as well." VOYA

Synopsis:

Writers who describe themselves as "perfectly decent grown men" tell the hysterical stories about the havoc they wreaked as little boys. The editor is a founding director of Northwest Bookfest in Seattle. 50+ photos.
