Stuck

Jeffers, Oliver

This book is so ridiculous it is funny! Kids get caught up in the hilarious plot and can't help but want to guess what happens next. 

I think many of us have probably had a real-life experience similar to what happens to the main character of this book. I've wondered if some specific situation gave the author his inspiration for this story.

The main character's kite gets stuck in a tree near his house one day. Naturally, thinking as only a little boy might, the best way to get the kite down is to throw other objects up in the tree. Alas! to no avail! The entire book is filled with pictures of all the objects (some incredibly outlandish) he hoists into the branches of this poor tree. It is all topped off by a ending you won't see coming. I'd recommend it for sure!
