It is the same humorous book with the same humorous story that kids love! An International Reading Association and Children's Book Council "Children's Choices" Honor Book An Alabama "Children's Choice Book Award Program" Winner "Nonstop wacky action." - School Library Journal "A quick, fun read that will appeal to would-be show-offs everywhere." - Booklist "This very funny, very silly book is filled with kids, teachers and parents who will make you laugh - when you're not chuckling about Tony's latest antics." -The Washington Post Summary: Anthony Madison, a.k.a. Tony Baloney, can't get enough of the Late Show with David Letterman. He loves the Late Show and will stop at nothing to get himself on the program.

With his own brand of Top Ten lists, and stunts that range from photocopying his hinder to taking to the field in a bear suit at a professional football game, Tony takes the NFL, MTV, New York City, the Hells Angels, his teacher, friends, family, and readers on an uproarious ride to remember. Hardcover originally published by Holiday House. Paperback originally published by Scholastic. Paperback re-released by Illusion Publishing.

Review: Awesome read for school age kids - made this book a requirement to read and do an essay on for my 5th graders. they didn't realize how much the book would inspire them to want to read more. it was funny and kept them on the edge of their seats
Review: great book - Purchased this book for my class of fifth graders. At the time, I had a hard time finding it in print and the author Ken Derby went out of his way to make sure I got a copy. I have since purchased a second copy to put in my classroom library. Used as a read aloud and my students loved it couldn't wait for me to read it to them each day. I highly recommend this book as a read aloud or if you have a reluctant reader this could get them motivated. Adventures are wonderfully detailed and the kids in the book are very relatable 2 kids today. Thank you Mr Derby for such a wonderful book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A book my grandson actually liked to read
*by A***R on May 14, 2020*

My grandson needed to read a book for a book report for school. He's in the 5th grade. He does not like to read. I found this book for him. He said, after the first few chapters, that this book is funny and is not the dumb book he thought I'd pick for him! That says volumes for him! Thanks for the enjoyable read.
