This all-new volume is absolutely crammed with the completely tasteless — yet entirely age-appropriate — questions of which the younger set of fans can't get enough. Educators and librarians alike put aside their queasiness to praise the Would You Rather . . . ? books aimed at youthful readers for getting the most resistant audience not just reading, but discussing what they've read—stealthily letting grown-ups be sure of comprehension. As a gateway book for reluctant readers, this new collection sparks the imagination, building the literacy and reasoning skills that will serve young people will when they select their next (and next, and next, and next) book.
Justin Heimberg graduated from Duke University in May 1995. After college, he, along with co-author David Gomberg, spent many months in a beach house where the first Would You Rather . . .? (Plume) book was born. Heimberg, an idealistic comedy writer, makes his living as a child advocate in Washington, D.C.
