Very cute and funny!

I really loved this book. My favorite part was when he found out that the towel he had was his dads gym towel waiting to be washed. I would recommend this book to everyone!

The Best Book EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful story about Sam Krupnik trying to go to Alaska. He goes because he can't wear fangs in the house.

Hilarious!

Sam Krupnik, the precocious younger brother of whimsical teenager Anastasia, has decided to run away to Alaska to "lie around in a pile". His mother won't let him wear his plastic fangs in the house. Sam concludes that in Alaska, people will be more tolerant of his fangs. As he roams the neighborhood, searching for food and supplies for his journey, readers will love following him- that is, if they don't fall over laughing first. -Delighted reader, age 13
