You all were right! Patrick McManus is hilarious. I just finished Kerplunk! a couple of days ago. My husband and I spent Valentine's weekend in Traverse City enjoying Winter Wonderfest. On the way up there I read some of it to my husband to keep him awake since we were traveling at night. We stayed awake just fine laughing.

I'll have to see if the library has The Blight Way. I'm sure we will be reading all his books we can find.

You just can't help but laugh out loud at some of those stories. There was one about a preacher who was scared of chickens....I still can't talk about it without losing it.

That is the best advertising! I love his books also. The Blight Way is a fictional book of his. Good read!
