After "The Phantom Tollbooth," this was one of my very favorite books as a kid. Super dark and inventive revenge fantasies for children.
A must-read for all kids (and most adults)
Rating:
5 / 5
This is a great children's book that I still love now that I've grown up. The story follows a kid named Skinny Malinky and his friends through assorted misadventures at school that lead to an all-out war between the kids and the teachers. The book is very creative and very funny!
Little-known but a goodie
Rating:
5 / 5
I've always remembered reading this book, a surreal and really rather sinister and apocalyptic tale of kids on the run in the name of individuality. The premise bears a lot of similarity to the 1998 movie Disturbing Behavior, with parents zombifying their kids in order to make them behave, but minus the "mature themes". If anything, one could say it was like Disturbing Behavior meets Logan's Run, written for sixth-graders. It's a little-known, but definite, gem.
