Tyler Reynolds has been entrusted with the awesome duty of preserving the legend of the Dudes' epic adventures for all time. He lives with his Mom, Dad, two brothers, and a dog and spends his non-screen-time with his four best friends.
He wants to point out that the Dudes are straight up fun. His novels aren't about kids with problems, and they are not supposed to teach you something.
His dad wants to point out that anything you DO learn from the Dudes is strictly your own fault.
