About the Author
Bill Wallace grew up in Oklahoma. Along with riding their horses, he and his friends enjoyed campouts and fishing trips. Toasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories to scare one another, and catching fish was always fun.
One of the most memorable trips took place on the far side of Lake Lawtonka, at the base of Mt. Scott. He and his best friend, Gary, spent the day shooting shad with bow and arrows, cutting bank poles, and getting ready to go when their dads got home from work.
Although there was no "monster" in Lake Lawtonka, one night there was a "sneak attack" by a rather large catfish tail. Checking the bank poles was not nearly as fun or "free" after that point, but it was the inspiration for this story.
Bill Wallace has won nineteen children's state awards and been awarded the Arrell Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award for Children's Literature from the Oklahoma Center for the Book. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Great Escape: Upchuck and the Rotten Willy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Escape (School & Library Binding)
There is a lot to say about this fictional book. This book was like a rollercoaster. It took awhile to get to the top but once you get there it's an exciting ride down. The chemistry that there is between the characters is one thing that makes this book good, so different but yet so much the same. The way they make each other want to succeed because they push each other. This book is a proven fact of the saying "friendship is greater than fear". This book is good for younger people or some one that is not the best reader.

Upchuck and the Rotten Willy,
By A Customer
This review is from: The GREAT ESCAPE: UPCHUCK AND THE ROTTENWILLY (Paperback)
I thought this book was [too] similar to other books that have cats and dogs becoming best friends. This book was not good for me because it is [too] low in reading level. I recomend this book for a 4th grader.To me this book was boring. I thought the book would be good for elementry kids.

Upchuck and Rotten Will, The Great Escape,
By A Customer
This review is from: The GREAT ESCAPE: UPCHUCK AND THE ROTTENWILLY (Paperback)
The title of this book is called Upchuck and Rotten Willy, The Great Escape. It is all about a dog named Willy, or Rotten Willy, and a cat named Chuck or Upchuck. They are trying to get Willy out of his yard so he can explore with Chuck. There is one problem though, Willy can't climb.This book doesn't really have hard words. It would probably be for kids between the ages of 8 & 10. Older kids might like it but it would probably be a little easy. I particularly liked it because it was exciting and hilarious. Not only that, but it shows two creatures (a cat and a dog) working together to get what they want. Will they succeed? Or will their life be the same forever?
