My Near-Death Adventures (99% True!)

For history lovers and journal fans comes a â€œhilarious and heartbreaking . . . 99â€“100% fantasticâ€ (A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal) story about a boy on a mission to find his long-lost father in the logging camps of Michigan.
Â
There are many things that 11-year-old Stanley Slater would like to have in lifeâ€”most of all, a father. But what if Stanâ€™s missing dad isnâ€™t â€œdearly departedâ€ after all?
Â
Armed with his stupendous scrapbook, full of black-and-white 19th-century advertisements and photos, Stanâ€™s attempt to locate his long-lost hero/cowboy/outlaw dad is a near-death adventure fraught with pesky relatives, killer lumberjacks, and poisonous pies! His tale will leave readers in stitches, but not the kind that require medical attention.

Praise for My Near-Death Adventures (99% True!)
â€œA knee-slapper of a debut featuring a narrator who is rather less than 99 percent reliable but 100 percent engaging.â€ â€”KirkusÂ Reviews

â€œ[An] exuberant first novel.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly

â€œStanâ€™s story is full of his hilarious misunderstandings and overactive imagination. Interspersed throughout are pictures and news clippings embellished with wisecrack remarks, speech bubbles, and the occasional mustache.â€ â€”Booklist
