Adam Mansbach and Alan Zweibel on "Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in My…" at the 2015 Miami Book Fair

Host Rich Fahle and guest host Ridley Pearson talk with Adam Mansbach and Alan Zweibel about their new book, “Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in My Ass…” at the 2015 Miami Book Fair. FROM THE PUBLISHER: This is the start to a most unlikely pen pal relationship between thirteen-year-old Franklin Isaac Saturday (Ike) and Benjamin Franklin. Before the fateful extra credit assignment that started it all, Ike's life was pretty normal. He was avoiding the popularity contests of middle school, crushing hard on Clare Wanzandae and trying not roll his eyes at his stepfather, Dirk-the-Jerk's lame jokes. But all that changes when, in a successful effort to make Claire Wanzandae laugh, Ike mails his homework assignment to Ben Franklin and he writes back. Soon, things go awry. After Ike has an embarrassing moment of epic proportions in front of Claire involving a playground, non-alcoholic beer, and a lot of kettle corn, Ike decides he needs to find a way to win Claire back. With some help from his new friend, B-Fizzle, can Ike get the girl and make his mark in history?
