Wallace Wallace won't lie, even if it means detention. And after he handed in a scorching book report of the classic novel, Old Shep, My Pal, detention is just what he's been handed. He is sure he's done nothing wrong: he hated every
minute of that book, especially when the dog dies in the end! Why do dogs always die at the end?
Wallace refuses to do a rewrite of his report, so his English teacher, who happens to be directing the school play of Old Shep, My Pal, forces him go to the rehearsals to teach him a lesson on why the story is the way it is. Surrounded
by theater kids who are apprehensive of him, Wallace sets out to prove himself. But not by changing his mind. Instead, he changes the play into a rock-and-roll rendition, complete with Rollerblades and a moped!

OLD SHEP, MY PAL is one of those familiar kids' books in which the dog dies in the end. Now, the junior high drama club is producing a play based on "Shep," and Wallace Wallace is stuck watching. Wallace is on detention because he refuses to write a book report about "Shep." With elements of mystery and lots of humor, NO MORE DEAD DOGS wags its way to a happy ending, thanks particularly to a talented cast playing the roles of Wallace, his football buddies, and the drama club nerds who become his friends. Bright and lively, this one gets four paws up. M.C. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
