Guy Friday- Humorous Guy Voices

You want humorous books for boys, I've got 'em. I even did a post on Boys Through the Decades and have a firm background knowledge in Homer Price (1942), Henry Reed (1958), and The Burning Questions of Bingo Brown (1988).

It's one thing to read adult reviews of funny books, but do the books test well with, you know, actual middle grade boys? These have all done well with my students. 

I included Gordon Korman, even though everything he writes is gold, and including him in this list is sort of like including The Beatles in a list of "Pop Bands You Might Like". 

Please let me know about other titles that I should include!
