Eighth grader Kro Kandle discovers that Ernest Hemingway wrote that there are four things one must do to become a man. Kro takes that blueprint to heart. With Hemingway as his guide, he navigates his odyssey through middle school with an eye keenly targeted on manhood. Writing in an experimental style replete with humor, poetry and an original narrative voice, Eric Arnold captures life in a middle school world surrounded by slugs . . . .

running with slugs is for middle schoolers, anyone who works with middle schoolers, anyone who lives with a middle schooler and for anyone who has ever been a middle schooler.
