How to Train Your Dad -- Gary Paulsen

<p><b><i>From the legendary author of </i>Hatchet<i>, a laugh-out-loud misadventure about a boy, his free-thinking dad, and the puppy-training pamphlet that turns their summer upside down.</i></b> <p/>Twelve-year-old Carl is fed up with his father's single-minded pursuit of an off-the-grid existence. His dad may be brilliant, but dumpster-diving for food, scouring through trash for salvageable junk, and wearing clothes fully sourced from garage sales is getting old. Increasingly worried about what schoolmates and a certain girl at his new school might think of his circumstances--and encouraged by his off-kilter best friend--Carl adopts the principles set forth in a randomly discovered puppy-training pamphlet to "retrain" his dad's mindset . . . a crackpot experiment that produces some very unintentional results. <p/>This is a fierce and funny novel about family, green-living, and untangling some of the ties that bind from middle-grade master Gary Paulsen.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Gary Paulsen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Square Fish<br><b>Published:</b> 10/04/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.64h x 5.25w x 0.56d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250854056<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>513347 / How to Train Your Dad<br>
