Review:
"(King) has managed to strike a balance between excitement and safety, goofiness and good information." Vancouver Sun

The dude!, July 2, 2006 (view all comments by The dude!)
Whether you're a 9-14 year old boy (or girl!), immature adult, or alien, you're going to find something to laugh at and something to do in this book. Hours of fun, and written with a great sense of humor. There are lots of projects, jokes, and
My highest recommendation!
