Eoin Colfer’s Legend of the Worst Boy in the World

Will likes to tell Grandad his problems, but Grandad always outdoes his stories. No fair! Will wishes something really horrible would happen to him, too. Then he wonders whether something terrible happened when he was a baby. Good news: his father tells him how Will's older brother Marty once tried to get Will to leave home forever: "It was dangerous, and it was terrible, but best of all; it was true." Black-and-white illustrations.
