The Dunderheads Behind Bars

Everyone's favorite underdogs are back! Can they land work on a movie set--and foil a cat burglar--with their unusual and motley skills? Newbery Medalist Fleischman and illustrator Roberts reunite for a delightfully triumphant sequel to "The Dunderheads." Illustrations.

Paul Fleischman won the Newbery Medal for Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices and a Newbery Honor for Graven Images. Among his award-winning picture books are Sidewalk Circus and Weslandia, both illustrated by Kevin Hawkes; The Animal Hedge, illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline; and The Dunderheads, for which he won the PEN Literary Award. Paul Fleischman lives in Aromas, California.

David Roberts is the author-illustrator of the Bertie Books and the illustrator of many books for children, including The Dumpster Diver by Janet S. Wong and The Dunderheads by Paul Fleischman, which was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal. David Roberts lives in London.
