Weird But Good!
This book starts in a dimestore with the purchase of a fake mustache that turns an ordinary kid into an evil mastermind intent on stealing the presidential election. So, yeah, weird.
Having written a political thriller myself, I know just how hard it is to get the right level of ridiculousness with impossible hilarity. And Tom Angleberger has done it with Fake Mustache. This book has got two points of view (nerdy kid, and TV cowgirl), and really short chapters, so you feel like you're flying through it. It's also got brainwashing and an assassin and sticky hands and snot guns (Deven will love it). There's even some light romance--if you're into that sort of thing.
On the Dudes Summer Reading Book Bingo Card, this book qualifies for: WEAPONS, COOL BATTLE, MONEY, ACTION ADVENTURE, GIVES YOU IDEAS, MAKES YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD, and HEIST OR CAPER.
