101 Ways to Bug Your Parents – Lee Wardlaw


101 Ways to Bug Your Parents – Lee Wardlaw

In this compellingly funny book author Lee Wardlaw helps the main character, Steve “Sneeze” Wyatt, find an amusing way to keep the fans begging for more excitement. The reason that it’s so funny is because Steve, Goldie, and Hiccup say and do. 101 ways to Bug your Parents follows the journey of the young Steve “Sneeze” Wyatt as he desperately tries to get to the Invention Convention.

This book isn’t directly about bugging your parents so if readers are just looking for a list of ways to annoy their parents this wouldn’t be the book for them and it will be a waste of time and money. This book is about a boy named Steve “Sneeze” Wyatt, who wants to become an inventor and gets invited to this invention convention, he needs $250 to get there. So he gets an idea. What if he sells a list of 101 ways to bug your parents? In addition to writing the list he also gets a side job of working at a golf place called Gadabout Golf. He fixes up the windmill and all the extra cool golf course stuff.

When Steve brings in the “Nice Alarm” to school he tries it out on his best friend, Hiccup. Supposedly it wakes you up nicely with a pat on the shoulder but instead it karate chops Hiccup in the nose. Hiccup comes up and says My Nose but Wardlaw spelled it “By Dose,” because if you hold your nose and talk it sounds funny but different. This is what makes Lee Wardlaw such a phantasmagorical author. She does an excellent job in making the readers feel like they’re right next to Steve in his journey to the Invention Convention.

Really a fun read!!
