In the vein of Bill Bryson’s The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, with a dash of some of the homegrown nostalgia of The Dangerous Book for Boys and A Prairie Home Companion, humorist Philip Gulley (Front Porch Tales, Home to Harmony) tells of his coming of age in small-town Indiana. It was a time of questionable role models, half-baked schemes, and unrelieved and happy chaos. Small Town Indiana: From aggravating the police dog at the county jail to learning life lessons from quirky neighbors, life in Danville was anything but boring. Funny Family Stories: Join a family who wins a house in a poker game (or so the story goes), survives on a diet of tomatoes, and wages war on bugs with an arsenal of their father’s bug spray. Childhood Adventures: Follow along on a quest to build a bicycle from dump parts, a disastrous camping trip to Turkey Run, and a town-wide Halloween candy heist that went deliciously wrong. Coming of Age Story: From a disastrous first attempt at dancing to an epic, unrequited love for his sixth-grade teacher, Miss Huddleston, this is a nostalgic look back at the awkward glory of growing up.
