How Angel Peterson Got His Name
Author(s): 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 *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.
