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.
