Work Description

When you grow up in a small town in the north woods, you have to make your own excitement. High spirits, idiocy, and showing off for the girls inspire Gary Paulsen and his friends to attempt:

  • Shooting waterfalls in a barrel
  • The first skateboarding
  • Jumping three barrels like motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel–except they only have bikes
  • Hangliding with an Army surplus target kite
  • Bungee jumping
  • Wrestling... a bear?

Extreme sports lead to extreme fun in new tales from Gary's boyhood.
