How Angel Peterson Got His Name

2003 · Book · Gary Paulsen, Patrick Lawlor

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. by Gary Paulsen, Patrick Lawlor
