作者简介
Jon Scieszka is the National Ambassador for Children's Literature emeritus and the bestselling author of more than twenty-five books for kids, including The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, Math Curse, Robot Zot!, and the Time Warp Trio series. Jon founded Guys Read to encourage a passion for reading among young boys, with the philosophy that boys love to read most when they are reading things they love. A former elementary school teacher, Jon lives in Brooklyn with his family.
Tom Angleberger ("Rise of the RoboShoes?") began writing his first novel in eighth grade, but never completed it. Since then, he's been a newspaper reporter and columnist, a juggler, a weed boy, a lawn-mower-part assembler, and a biology research assistant. This bestselling author insists he's not really all that creative-"I'm more of a puzzle-putter-together."
精彩书评
"The fourth volume in Scieszka’s Guys Read Library of Great Reading series serves up 10 original science fiction and fantasy stories by leading figures in the field. Each is imaginative and entertaining and, in the case of a graphic story by Shaun Tan, decidedly offbeat. But two entries are standouts: Neal Shusterman delivers a literally breathtaking story about a demi-Eden, and D. J. MacHale crafts a tale about a merciless scout with a grim purpose. Best of all, though, is a novella-length story by the late, great Ray Bradbury. Speculative fiction fans especially tween guys will rejoice. Grades 4-7."
