Contains 5 stories
The Voice
8 pp · humor; teen

When a boy with a singing voice catches the attention of a local mob boss, he's pressured into an outrageous recording contract and thrust into the spotlight—but there's one problem he can't hide forever. This 1946 humor tale follows the chaotic fallout when ambition, crime, and a kid's honest limitations collide in "The Voice."

Touchdown Tubby
8 pp · humor; teen

When Crawford Corners High's star fullback Muley Walker gets injured just before the big game against Maggoty Gap, the coach takes a gamble and recruits Tubby—a kid more interested in ping-pong than football—as an emergency substitute. Desperate and distracted by a quarter he spots on the field, Tubby stumbles through the game in hilarious fashion until a lucky break sends him running toward the end zone.

Rainbow's End
8 pp · humor; teen

Patches and Tubby's fishing trip takes an unexpected turn when a friendly hobo shares tales of buried pirate treasure hidden somewhere nearby—and offers to split the haul three ways if the boys help him dig it up. What starts as an exciting hunt through their own neighborhood quickly becomes a lesson in what glitters isn't always gold, as the pair discover the hard way that not every promise of riches is what it seems.

Teenage Tycoon
3 pp · humor; biography
Short Order Success
8 pp · humor; teen

Patches and his friend Tubby buy a self-help book called "100 Easy Steps to Success" and use its advice to land jobs at a diner, determined to follow the guide's lessons about being forceful and aggressive. What starts as overconfident job interviews quickly spirals into kitchen chaos—a massively over-sized cake explodes, dishes shatter, and things go hilariously wrong in ways the book never prepared them for. By the time the boss returns to survey the damage, our two confident young workers realize that success might be a lot harder than step one suggested.
