Genre: Comedy and Adventure Theme: friendship makes life more fun and enjoyable And then it happened is a 12 part book series. Each book is a collection of funny short stories, about three best friends who get into a lot of trouble coming up with stupid but creative ideas. In every story the boys make up a problem for themselves and some crazy solution. Something always goes wrong and that's where the line “and then it happened” appears. The three main characters are Gordon, Paulo and the narrator whose name was never told. Gordon is the idea maker, Paulo is the handy man and the narrator tells the stories from his perspective. The book takes place at their 3 houses, at school and in their communities. The town is small and only has 4 police cars. I really enjoyed reading the first 4 books of the series. They are funny and easy to read. Each story is 3 to 6 pages and I recommend this book to 8 to 11 year old boys.
