Chickens in the Headlights by Matthew Buckley

4.0

This book was absolutely hilarious. I laughed out loud so many times, often late at night while reading in bed and my husband was asleep and I was trying to be quiet and then I'd just shake the bed with my laughter. Luckily he slept through it. ;) I love how the anecdotes are strewn together to make a story, although I was wondering about the title of the book until almost the end and then that is explained. The sweetest part of the book is when they go to grandma's on vacation and Matthew gets some one-on-one time with her (albeit after scaring the daylights out of her!!!) and their cute and poignant conversation. I loved that the dog's named was Farding and all the jokes that came with that (and what 9-year-old knows what that word even means and thinks up to use it instead of the one with a T??? I didn't until I read this!!) Great read, clean read. Really 4.5 stars for me.
