Dodgeball High
About this book
Justin Lucas just started at a new high school, but there are no classes in really important stuff like English literature, mathematics, science, or history. Instead, the entire curriculum is dedicated to playing dodgeball. Justin is...perplexed. Where are the pencils and textbooks? Why are there so many explosives strapped to the balls? And what's up with the barbed wire? Does the school administration really think it's appropriate to wrap the balls in barbed wire?Dodgeball High does not seem like a safe environment for a young man. But his classmates don't care. They kinda remind him of junior Mafia dons, little serial killers, and pint-sized dictators from third world countries. And they are all really good at dodgeball (and the shedding of their classmates' blood), while Justin totally sucks. And to make matters worse, Justin's parents are like...total dicks. They won't let him go to a different school because they think he's full of crap about this "dodgeball nonsense." Not to mention that Dodie Manson, the greatest player in the school, has a gigantic crush on Justin. And whoever Dodie wants, Dodie gets, and her BFs have a habit of experiencing intense pleasure prior to their "mysterious" decapitations.Does Justin have what it takes to survive and make it to the top of his class before graduation? Or will he be eliminated permanently? Read Dodgeball High to find out, but watch out for the ball that's coming at your head!Praise for Dodgeball High:"Justin Lucas may just be one of the best narrators in contemporary fiction." - Cultured Vultures "Bradley Sands has a knack for writing likeably dislikeable characters and throwing them into wacky situations. If you haven't read any of his books yet, this is a great place to start." - Razorcake "Whatever you think is going to happen in Dodgeball High? Yeah. Just forget it. You'll never see where Sands is taking this thing. Of this, I am certain." - The Next Best Book Blog "Dodgeball High reminds of a John Hughes writing a teen movie set in the dystopian future of movies like Rollerball." - Shelf Inflicted "Like a high school sports movie parody as conceived by the writers at Adult Swim." - Adventures in SciFi Publishing "Read Dodgeball High and introduce yourself to what may be the funniest and most accessible book in the Bizarro genre." - Hellnotes
