How Angel Peterson Got His Name
About this book
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.
