No More Dead Dogs by Gordon Korman

When my dad was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, he once rescued eight Navy SEAL's who where stranded behind enemy lines.
Wallace Wallace is sent to detention for failing to write a book review. Wallace begins to make suggestions about the play rehearsal he must watch during detention which coincidentally is directed by the same teacher who sent him to detention. A battle of wills occurs as the actors begin to side with Wallace on changes to the performance.

A funny story that seemed a little young for young adults. I would have characterized it as 8-12 age group. Wallace is an appealing character and an original one too!
