How Angel Peterson Got His Name Gary Paulsen

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."
