Publisher's Summary

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.
