How to Train Your Dad
English
By (author): Gary Paulsen
From Gary Paulsen, the award-winning author of Hatchet, comes a laugh-out-loud eco-adventure about a boy, his free-thinking dad and the puppy-training pamphlet that turns their summer upside down.
Twelve-year-old Carl is fed up with his dad; he may be brilliant, but bin-diving for food, scouring through rubbish for 'salvageable' junk and wearing clothes fully sourced from garage sales is getting old. Increasingly worried by what his schoolmates will think and encouraged by his riotous best friend Carl decides to use a puppy-training pamphlet to 'retrain' his dads mindset . . . a crackpot experiment that produces some hilarious results!
How To Train Your Dad is a fierce and funny novel about family, friendship and green-living from middle-grade master Gary Paulsen.
