Excerpt: Stuffed (by (author) Eric Walters)

"So, do we have a deal?" Mr. Evans asked.
"Unbelievable," I muttered under my breath.
"I don't understand," Mr. Evans said.
"The whole thing is unbelievable. First you try to threaten me. Then you try to bribe me. And now you do the two together, trying to bribe me and threatening me if I don't take the bribe."
"I don't like to think of it in those terms," he said.

Editorial Reviews

"Pacing, characters, appeal and understated humor...create an entertaining and intriguing read."

KLIATT

"This is a book with many themes and would make an excellent starting point for discussion about political activism."

Puget Sound Council for the Review of Children's Books

"Ian is an intelligent witty narrator, and this fast-paced, large-print novel explores the seamy sides of the fast-food industry and legal profession while revealing the business tactics of each as being remarkably similar."

ALAN Review

"Engaging and fast-moving, this is another noteworthy and well-written story."

Washington State Revew Group
