Available: Hardcopy, paperback, Kindle
Like the pulp fiction of
the 1920s, 30s & 40s, GUYS READ is a collection of mystery/thriller stories
written by ten of today's best selling authors. The stories are fast paced and
fun to read. All of the main characters are boys. One story is a mini graphic
mystery. A couple tales involve ghosts. One story takes place in Somalia with
modern day pirates. And what about snakes? Thieves? Thugs? And stolen valuable
coins?
Boys especially will
love these high action short stories. They are well crafted and sure to delight
even the most reluctant reader.
