Markus Zusak
From the bestselling author of The Book ThiefBefore The Book Thief, Markus Zusak wrote a trilogy of novels about the Wolfe Brothers: The Underdog, Fighting Rueben Wolfe, and Getting the Girl. Cameron and Ruben Wolfe are champions at getting into fights, coming up with half-baked schemes, and generally disappointing girls, their parents, and their much more motivated older siblings. They're intensely loyal to each other, brothers at their best and at their very worst. But when Cameron falls head over heels for Ruben's girlfriend, the strength of their bond is tested to its breaking point.We're proud to present these novels together for the first time, and to be introducing American readers to The Underdog, never before published in the United States. Fans of The Book Thief won't want to miss reading the novels that launched Markus Zusak's stellar career.

"I wasn't too impressed to be completely honest. I got really bored during most of it. I really liked the boxing matches which I found interesting. I liked the poems and words that Cameron wrote but I feel the story was lacking at times. I wasn't a huge fan of Underdogs but Fighting Ruben Wolfe was a big improvement. Getting the Girl took a step back and definitely was as good as Fighting Ruben Wolfe. I have read all of his books now and I definitely have to say that he gets better with time. The best of his books were I Am the Messenger and The Book Thief. His first three books were ok. If you like a lot of story telling from one persons perspective and a lot of poetic prose, then this is a book for you. If you are looking for something with a little more umph then I would avoid this trilogy."
