How Angel Peterson Got His Name: And Other Outrageous Tales about Extreme Sports
By:
- Synopsis
-
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 these stories from Gary's boyhood.
