The Perfect Prank and Other Stories

0/5 ( ratings)

"The Perfect Prank and Other Stories" is a collection of seven short stories. It begins with "The Perfect Prank" ... a story that follows the lives of a family of five through a year of small-town fun. The kids have their hearts set on doing a prank at their elementary school and Mom and Dad decide it would be a good "family project" to undertake ... a family project that turns out to be a hare-raising adventure. Next is "The Meeting" ... a short narrative that peeks in on a budding romance. After this is "Going Fishin'" ... a short tale in which a young couple go on a fishing outing. It is the girl's first time fishing and we see her fall in love with the sport. Then there is "For A Bowl Of Stew" which covers a fist fight in which a village bully ... long accustomed to pushing his weight around ... finally gets his come-uppance. The next story is "The Barclay School" which looks in on a private school for girls and the prank-loving students who go there. The girls are clever and resourceful and ... very likable. After this is "The Last Dragon" ... a short tale about a young man who does battle with a dragon. Lastly is "The Fortunate Man" ... a story about a man who is marooned on a tropical island. He retains his optimism and sense of humor, however, as he tries to make the best of this "misfortune."
