1 Oh Scutchthorpe...
"Are you boys going home from vacation?" everyone asks Al Capsella and his friend as they board a bus for Scutchthorpe. Alas for Al, he is going to Scutchthorpe for their vacation. But he won't need his surfboard unless it gets pretty windy by Reilly's Dam (a lot of things get lost in Reilly's Dam). The truth is, it has been a little while since I read this book and I don't remember every detail. But it might be the funniest book I've ever read. I couldn't recommend it to people after I read it because as I was trying to explain it I would start laughing uncontrollably. I think it is a complete book, I am 21 now and would read it again without hesitating, I think the last time I read it I was 20, so don't be afraid if you've passed your teenage years. I loved the other two Al Capsella books, maybe the Heroic Life is better, but this one is definitely the funniest. I especially recommend this to people who love Gordon Korman. For anyone who has ever wondered why birds fly south for the winter, J. Clarke might just be able to answer your question. This book just shouldn't be out of print!

Quote of the Day:


Indeed, the first noble truth of Buddhism, usually translated as

`all life is suffering,' is more accurately rendered `life is filled
with a sense of pervasive unsatisfactoriness.'
-- M.D. Epstein

If it smells it's chemistry, if it crawls it's biology, if it doesn't work
it's physics.
