The Cartwheel Kid

As the second in the series, The Cartwheel Kid follows the story of Pookie Jameson, another orphan from the Vineland Residential Treatment Center. From pull-up bars to trampolines to high flying carnival rides, Pookie blazes through a series of death defying stunts and tactical maneuvers that might just one day get him out of the orphanage and onto the Bridgeton Middle School Diving Team.
