Masters of Disaster
Gary Paulsen
“Let’s face facts: We may be the most boring twelve-year-olds on the planet.” Henry Mosley decides that he and his pals Riley and Reed have got to liven things up. They need to go on some earth-shaking adventures and make a name for themselves. Henry is the mastermind; Riley’s the cautious researcher who’s prepared for anything. And somehow fearful Reed always ends up with the scariest, craziest assignments.            Roped into wacky attempts to break world records, reenact scenes from books, solve a hundred-year-old murder, and carry out Henry’s other inspired ideas, Riley and Reed follow their fearless leader everywhere: into the wilderness (truly terrifying), inside a bull-riding ring, into a haunted house, off the neighbors’ roof, and into a cataclysmic collision with explosive life-forms. Gary Paulsen brings all his trademark humor to this fast-paced novel of fun and disaster.

Reed, Riley, and Henry are the most ordinary people in their school. Henry is the brainy guy who thinks for the rest of them and is always ready to act; Riley is the note taking, quiet, writer. And Reed? He is about to make a decision to become very brave or very weak. He brings the whole plot together. Henry has an idea to do things that will get them noticed. They try to break a world record, and they attempt to solve an ancient mystery and more. Nothing seems to work, and they seem to be the masters of disaster!
