Eleven year-old Sean Kelly has a problem and its name is Jake Skutter. And now that Jake has the newest and coolest dart gun AND the prettiest girl in school likes him, Sean decides he's fed up and challenges Jake to WAR....A DART GUN WAR. If they have any chance to survive, Jake and his best friends Dump Truck and Squiggy will need to rely on Sean's strange father, who tells the boys about a mysterious time in American History called the 1980's when MEN were MEN and dart guns were lethal weapons. DART GUNS AT DAWN is the latest of Author/Illustrator Daniel Kenney's hilarious graphic novels, perfect for children ages 9-12.
Daniel Kenney and his wife Teresa live in Omaha, Nebraska with zero cats, zero dogs, one gecko, and lots of kids. When those kids aren't driving him nuts, he writes writes books and does a lot of laundry. A lot. No, seriously, you can't possibly imagine how much laundry he does.
This book was really good because it was funny. I liked that it was short and I could read it in one sitting. My favorite part was when he found out that Irwin R Fletcher made the dart gun. I would recommend this book for anyone who has a good sense of humor, boys especially, grades 3-5 mostly.
