About the book

Guys Read

Ten fast-paced tales of haunted houses, reptile smugglers, and cryptids.

A body on the tracks

A teenage terrorist

A mysterious wish-granting machine

The world’s worst private detective

The second volume in the Guys Read Library of Great Reading is chock-full of mystery, intrigue, and nefarious activity.

Ten original tales send young partners into abandoned storm drains, darkened alleys, and frantic rooftop chases. Gennifer Choldenko traps a father and son inside an exotic reptile ring surrounded by escaping vipers and a loose Komodo dragon.

Bruce Hale leads two curious sixth-graders beneath the streets to rescue a friend from mischievous, torch-bearing Pukwudgies. The anthology delivers a lively assortment of cursed spectacles and uninvited phantoms.

Featuring some of the best writers around, and compiled by certified guy Jon Scieszka, Guys Read: Thriller is a pulse-pounding collection of brand-new short stories, each one guaranteed to keep you riveted until the final page.

  • Spooky Stories: M. T. Anderson takes a ghost-hunting TV crew to an old Massachusetts estate, where a boy searching for hidden Smitch family gold ends up cornered by furious nineteenth-century spirits.
  • Action Adventure: Walter Dean Myers follows fourteen-year-old Abdullah on a high-speed skiff off the Somali coast, facing an armed standoff aboard a captured luxury yacht.
  • Unlikely Hero: Anthony Horowitz sends bumbling detective Tim Diamond and his sharp brother Nick onto a North London rooftop to solve a five-million-pound gold coin heist.
  • Adventure Stories: Matt de la Peña follows seventh-grader Benny Garcia through Brooklyn as mysterious deliveries begin appearing beneath a stick-figure wish machine taped to his bedroom wall.
  • Also by This Author: Guys Read: Funny Business, Guys Read: The Sports Pages and Guys Read: Other Worlds.
