Book Description

April 29 2008 Eoin Colfer's Legend Of...
Growing up with four complainers for brothers, Will Woodman has a hard time getting an audience for his own troubles. He has to wait in line to gripe to his mom--and that leaves his dad. But since his dad is so busy, Will has to defer to his older (and faster) brother Marty. Will decides that what he really needs is his own grown-up to complain to. And he has the perfect guy for the job--someone who's a good listenener and has a lot of free time: Grandad.

But swapping sob stories with Grandad doesn't prove to be as satisfying as Will thought. Grandad has tons of pathetic stories to choose from, and one is worse than the next! But when Will hears the legend of the worst boy in the world, he knows he has finally hit the jackpot....

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 2–4—With four other complaining sons, Will Woodman's parents don't have time to listen when he needs to vent. Frustrated, he hopes that his Grandad will become his confidant. When he spends Saturdays working with the old man, who is the lighthouse keeper in a seaside village, the two strike a deal to listen to each other's "sob stories." Grandad, though, has a penchant for "one-upping." Poor Will can't seem to top any of his unbelievable stories, which involve shark bites on the head, badgers stealing schoolbags, and a bad run-in with tinfoil. Finally catching some time alone with his dad, Will learns a remarkable and amusing story about himself that he's sure can't be topped. In the end, Grandad helps Will to make a significant discovery about himself and his problems, making this a satisfying, funny, and engaging addition to the series. Quirky cartoon illustrations add to the fun, creating a perfect selection for reluctant readers. Fans of Wendelin Van Draanen's "Shredderman" (Yearling), Dave Keane's "Joe Sherlock" (HarperCollins), and Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" (Scholastic) series will enjoy this book.—Jennifer Cogan, Bucks County Free Library, Doylestown, PA

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It is such an awesome book! It is written by a great author. I love all his books. Artemis Fowl and The Supernaturalist are some of my favorites. the Worst Boy is a funny story and is a good story because it has some funny things like bunny P.J's and wanting revenge over a gummy.

5.0 out of 5 stars So funny and engaging for kids and adults! April 15 2011
By HeidiSG - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book has my students and I rolling on the floor laughing every time I read it. I am an elementary school librarian in New Hampshire and I read this aloud to all of my 2nd grade classes around this time of year. It take us two or three weeks to get through since I only see them once a week, but they HATE leaving the library when I'm in the middle of it....especially when we get to the part where Will and Marty start their "walking the line" adventure. There are parts of it I can barely read because I'm laughing so hard. I SO hope Mr. Colfer plans to write another one of these "Legend of..." stories!
