, Unabridged
Gary Paulsen’s slapstick tales capture the “wonderful madness” of growing up in a small town in northern Minnesota, when high spirits, showing off for girls, and general idiocy led Gary and his pals to attempt some amazing stunts, including:
- Shooting a waterfall in a barrel
- Breaking the world speed record on skis
- Hang gliding with an army surplus target kite
- Inventing the skateboard
- Jumping a bike through a hoop of fire
- Wrestling - with a bear?
Wacky, daring, just plain nuts - extreme sports lead to extreme fun in new stories from Gary’s boyhood.
