Jock Jokes and other stories
by Paul Wagner about the author
Publisher: iUniverse.com, Inc
ISBN: 0-595-30757-4 Review by Darla Richwine
This is a take-along book. You'll want to keep it in your backpack or briefcase. Then,
whenever and wherever boredom descends upon you, you can escape into a fun-filled
world peopled by interesting characters to match your mood.
Feeling spooky? Experience the harelipped boy dancing with a red-haired ghost at the
prom. Or the teen ghost with bloody finger stubs inside a brick wall.
Laugh along with high school jocks and their practical jokes.
Share the ecstasy of a tenth grader's first kiss...the angst of an acne-fied boy in the
dermatologist's waiting room...the birth of self-confidence in a wimp.
In this single volume, you'll enjoy more than 50 short stories that capture memorable
episodes in the lives of young people. Quick to read (many stories are only a few pages)
yet often delivering a lasting sense of wisdom gained, author Wagner's stories fit well the
phrase "reading for pleasure."
Don't lend this book to a friend. You might not get it back.
