Our lawyers have instructed us to warn you that reading it may directly cause you to come down with every single disease you are worried about contracting. On the plus side, our nation’s beloved and heroic critics have had their say.

—Beth Hinkle, author of Elite Prose

“ASTOUNDING problems at the sentence level and beyond.”
—Dr. Roger Johns, Ph. D.

Praise for Mooses with Bazookas

  • “Ridiculous and hilarious. Stories you don't want to stop reading just because you wonder what other crazy and weird thing can happen next. The 12-year-old laughed out loud the whole time he read this book (who said pre-teens were hard to entertain?!); the 10-year-old has never read a book so fast.”

     

    Val

  • “Pure fun in the style of Lemony Snicket. But without the super depressing-ness of Lemony Snicket. If you like purposefully bad writing with big words and inside jokes, read this book."

     

    Haley Annabelle

  • “Mooses with Bazookas by SD Smith is a delightful book that quickly became our go-to bedtime read for our 10-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl...SD Smith's witty humor shines through, making the overall reading experience thoroughly enjoyable.”

Mooses with Bazookas FAQ

What age is this for?
Like all of S. D. Smith’s books, this is for a broad range of ages. If you’re old enough to enjoy The Green Ember, you can enjoy this. As always, parents are encouraged to preview if they have concerns. There is no foul language, but there is a foul ball hit by an imaginary baseball player written in invisible ink on the back of the front of one of the pages.

How does Mooses with Bazookas compare to The Green Ember books and Jack Zulu?
It is the difference between silliness and sincerity, between a joke and an epic. The Green Ember stories have humor, but it is sugar as an ingredient in a much bigger recipe. (Jack Zulu has more humor than Ember, but it’s still a serious adventure—an encounter with deep cosmic reality.) Mooses is a very sugary treat.

Who is Joe Hox?
The illustrator extraordinaire for this book. He has a great smile and bright eyes and draws good. Imagine him smiling and there’s a cornfield behind him. Keep doing it.

Who is Wally Warmbottom?
He is S. D. Smith’s correspondent via jug from his island upon which he is stranded. His letters form the glue of the Mooses book. It is very sticky glue, which is good, and bad. Because it binds, but it also makes a mess.

Will this cure my hiccups?
Eventually, it definitely will not. It will, however, much to the delight of Nebraskan Umpires, intensify them dramatically.
