Funny Books About Friendship, Mischief & Adventure

Great Friends. Bad Ideas. Unforgettable Adventures!

Some of the best childhood memories begin with a group of friends and an idea that probably should have been thought through a little better.

Remember the friends who could talk you into almost anything? The ones who convinced you that jumping your bike off a homemade ramp was perfectly safe, exploring the woods was a great idea, or that somehow nobody would find out what you'd been up to?

Those are the kinds of friendships that make growing up unforgettable.

Welcome to Pebble Lane Kids®, where every neighborhood adventure brings another opportunity for laughter, trouble, embarrassment, and the occasional lesson learned the hard way.

Growing up in 1980s South Jersey, John, Vinny, Maria, Ricky, Gina, Blaze, and their friends don't have cell phones, social media, or video games to keep them entertained. They have bicycles, baseball gloves, their imaginations, and an entire neighborhood waiting to be explored.

Of course, putting a group of imaginative kids together doesn't always lead to sensible decisions.

There are arguments over ridiculous things, rivalries that get out of hand, pranks that backfire, and embarrassing situations nobody wants to remember.

But beneath all the laughter and mischief is something that makes these stories special: friendship.

These kids don't always agree. They tease each other, compete with each other, and occasionally drive each other crazy. But when someone really needs a friend, they're there.

Inspired by author Joseph Scardino's childhood in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, the Pebble Lane Kids books combine humor, adventure, and the unforgettable experiences of growing up with neighborhood friends.

For young readers, they're entertaining stories filled with colorful characters and unexpected adventures.

For parents and grandparents, they're a reminder of the friendships and childhood memories that never really leave us.

And perhaps that's what makes these stories worth sharing. Times change, technology changes, and neighborhoods change, but the importance of having good friends never does.

Every great friendship has a story. Discover where these adventures begin!
