If you want to read a book but you don't know what you want to read, you should read INVASION OF THE ROAD WEENIES written by David Lubar. Invasion of the Road Weenies are all little stories you can laugh so hard you'll almost cry of laughter. You might think it is dumb at first but it
will get really funny. I think this book should be 4 stars. I like one called COPIES. Copies is about a little boy and his brother that go to their dad's work for bring your child to work day. The two boys see a copy machine and decide to use it. The older brother puts his younger brother's face on the copy machine and accidentally presses 1,000 copies. Then the older brother sits down on another to copy his behind. Then finally when the copies were over they see that their face and behind was gone! If you like the beginning you'll really like it in the end. I hope read this book and I hope you have a good time reading this!!

David Lubar strikes again with Invasion Of The Road Weenies, a book with a lot of funny stories. Two of my favorite stories were "The Dead Won't Hurt You" and "A Little Night Fishing." They are all good stories. They are not that long, but they are exciting.
David Lubar is a good writer. He had a lot of good books like Wizard Of The Game and Road Weenies 2#. They are really funny too. He was born in Morristown, New Jersey in 1954. He likes computer magazines. He lives in Oakwood PA. He got 2 awards for his books I give this book a ***** rating!!!!

This book is the sequel to David Lubar's Land of the Lawn Weenies. Lubar does not focus on one story, but rather many short stories. Each story is meant to be scary to some degree, however I enjoyed Invasion of the Road Weenies more for it's creative and interesting stories. It's a nice light read and is great for any age that can read!

There are only a couple downs to this book, which is why it's four stars. First, the book is much shorter than Land of the Lawn Weenies. This book may not grab the attention of the reader because each story is not relevant to eachother, making no suspense after one story. Don't get me wrong though, it's still a great book!

Though the title seems a little odd, it's a great book to read anytime. I'm sure you will enjoy these short stories, and therefor, Lubar has just earned himself a four star review.

P.S. David's next title might be about bike weenies :P

Velcome horror fans!

Do you like to scare yourself? Scream? Even almost wet your pants? Probably not, but if you have an appetite for scary stories, this is the book for you! Invasion of the Road Weenies is a collection of scary stories by David Lubar.

In The Last Halloween, a girl finds some mysterious "special" gloves for Halloween. In The La Brea Toy Pits, a boy goes to the tar pits and finds TOY pits!

But that's not even half of it! To see what I mean, read Invasion of the Road Weenies!

Yet more great stories from literary master David Lubar. Plenty of short
sharp shocks to give kids the shivers as Halloween approaches!

My kids and I loved this book. It is full of great short stories. It would be a great book for a reluctant reader because the stories are so short. The reader can have many short, entertaining reading sessions without the chance of getting bored. While camping this past weekend my son retold many of stories from this book while we were sitting around the campfire. They really are great spooky campfire stories!

So this is Lubar's second short story collection. Again, expect youth-centered motivations and scenarios and equally kid-centered death and destruction. Each and every story is completely different, no Goosebumpesque cookie-cutting here. I read these stories to little kids, I'm a teacher, and it's great to see their jaws drop and their eyes pop open. Mr. Lubar pushes limits and one way that he accomplishes this is by using the device of ending right before the inevitably gory conclusion. This leads to some angry children when I read the stories, but the anger is due to their passion and attachment to the stories.**One slight point though. In The Land of the Lawn Weenies most of the bad happenings took the form of a comeuppance on some naughty kid, ya know, a moral tale. Not so with Road Weenies, the catastrophe and mayhem is 100% morally indifferent, I'm not sure if I like that as much.**

These are great short stories. My 10 year old daughter and 7 year old son love them. Some stories can be a tad scary for younger more sensitive children.

My son loved this one so much, we had to travel all over our area to find the other Road Weenie book, Campfire Weenies, I believe it's called.

This book is creepy but not to creepy,that's what I love about this book. Some of these storys are funny and creepy. My favorite story is "Nigh Fishing" its really creepy. I recomend this book to everone, Lubar strikes again!
