Quick Summary
True crime fans in the middle grades will get a kick out of this collection of ridiculously dumb crook stories, each one more absurd than the last. Zullo serves up short, punchy anecdotes that are perfect for reading between classes or before bed, and the humor keeps the tone light even when the situations get a little messy. It's a great choice for reluctant readers who want something fast-paced, and parents will appreciate that the tales are all based on real events, giving a sneaky little lesson about consequences without being preachy. If you enjoy the kind of wacky facts in books like "Weird But True" but want something with a bit more mischief, this is right up your alley.
