Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5–Wiley and Grampa triumph over the supernatural forces invading their hometown. In the first book, they meet Colonel Dracula and his Mudsucker–a blood-guzzling vampire truck. The next title puts toxic borscht to good use in battling an army of zombies that arrives uninvited at a backyard barbeque. Nothing seems to faze Wiley and his grandparents, who are rather inventive when it comes to vanquishing their enemies. Each story finishes with a Crackpot Snapshot game, where readers must find all of the small differences between two almost identical pictures. With black-and-white cartoons on every page, this series is similar in appearance and theme to Jim Benton's Franny K. Stein (S & S) and Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants (Scholastic) books, making it a welcome high-interest choice for younger or reluctant readers.–Kathleen Meulen, Blakely Elementary School, Bainbridge Island, WA

Thank you Kirk Scroggs!!, Sep 28 2006
By C. M. Moreland "restless reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wiley & Grampa #1: Dracula vs. Grampa at the Monster Truck Spectacular (Paperback)
I am so happy I picked up this book. I have read to my 6-year-old son every night of his life, and about a year ago I realized he never listened to a word I said. I was very confused..I mean I loved books as a kid. How could he not? Well anyway, I started searching for the book that would captivate him. I tried everything imaginable--every kind of kid's book from every genre. Well, a couple of weeks ago I picked this book up at Borders because it was a chapter book with lots of illustrations and because it had a halloween theme (just in time for the holiday). We started reading it and two nights ago I almost had a heart attack when, after reading a chapter, Trevor (my son) said, "Let's keep reading, mom." Then when we finished another chapter and I told him it was really, really time for bed he complained, "Aaw mom, that's all we're going to read?" I almost started crying. I am so thankful I found this book.The book itself is really funny and fast-paced. Trevor never was bored because the book moved so quickly. I can't wait to purchase the other two books.

Fun Book To Read, Dec 13 2007
By A. D. Cox - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wiley & Grampa #1: Dracula vs. Grampa at the Monster Truck Spectacular (Paperback)
I love the Wiley & Grampa series by Kirk Scroggs. Dracula vs. Grammpa at the Monster Truck Rally is great for the Christmas season. It's the first in the series. So, be sure to check out the rest. These books are a lot of fun for boys who might be picky about what they read. If your child loves the Captain Underpants books, then turn him on to these.Author of "Hobo Finds A Home" editor "Of A Predatory Heart"

Pretty cute!, July 26 2008
By mayflower - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wiley & Grampa #1: Dracula vs. Grampa at the Monster Truck Spectacular (Paperback)
My three sons love to read books filled with humor and this book delivered many laughs.Grampa and Wiley have a wild adventure when they decide to attend a monster truck show, starring Dracula (a man who resembles a 'red-neck' Elvis) and his amazing 'Mudsucker.' It just so happens that the day of the monster truck show is Halloween and the weather is expected to be fierce- with an F5 tornado fast approaching. Not only will the two have to fear the tornado and the sary creatures at the truck show, but also Gramma's wrath. Which is worse? They soon find out.
This book is filled with many laughs and a great adventure. Just when you think it's gonna get scary, things start to surprise you! Very cute. Can't wait to read #2.
