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.
