Author Description

Alex Stone is the world's lamest bowler. That's why he swiped his for sure ticket out of Gutter King-dom: his best friend's new Furious Storm XG6 bowling ball. He rolled a perfect strike with it, too--his first ever. It never came back, though, and now Alex has two choices. He can get it back or lose the friendship forever.Easy enough, if vicious, snotty, gassy trolls hadn't snatched it.But then Luney Lanes is no ordinary bowling alley. Not that he knew that. And not that Alex could have known he'd reawaken a decades-old bowling scandal, either, or that he'd be putting everyone he loves in danger trying to save that bowling ball. He didn't know anything, and now poor Alex is in some serious trouble. After all, when you're just a ten-year-old kid who can't bowl for squat, well, saving the day can be one mighty hard thing to pull off.All proceeds from this book go to children's charities.REVIEWSFrom Agnes Biggunbuttum, Chairperson, National Association of Gnome-owning Gardeners (N.A.G.G.):"I find it seriously alarming that someone could even pretend that garden gnomes might be more than the painted ceramic sculptures that they are. I can tell you for a fact that every report we've ever investigated of gnome animation was a direct result of gardeners spending too much time in the hot sun. This author should be ashamed of herself. Garden gnomes are not alive. Probably."From K.A. Hunter's mom in the annual Christmas newsletter:"Troll-A-Rama is a work of staggering genius!"From Seymore Feshiface, President, S.A.D.:"As President of the Sardine Aroma Defenders (S.A.D.), I just want to go on record to say that we take offense to the gross misrepresentation of sardine fragrance in this book. Sure, it's not the sweetest smelling fish out there. But personally, I once had the misfortune of meeting Mr. Luney myself. And all I'll say is he stank way more than any sardine ever could."
