"A Huck Finn for the seventies." Marathon bars. Stingray Bikes. Monster movies. First love. And danger. That was life in the seventies told from the point of view of ten-year-old Jimmy Foxton. This wasn’t “The Brady Bunch” it was a boys “The Wild Bunch”. A funny, emotional, and heart-breaking look at a time when innocence and youth ruled the day. And growing up was just around the corner. A surprising and charming little book. Really well done. --Glen Mazzara, executive producer, The Walking Dead, The Shield I's a time machine back to the '70s. But you know what else? It's poignant, tender, and heart-warming. A rich and textured tale that will make you laugh, squirm, and cry. --Faith Freed, author of IS A thoughtful, beautiful novel. I loved this book. Jimmy Foxton is the freshest narrator I've come across in a long time. A wonderful story told from the view of a precocious ten-year-old--one that only a skilled novelist can master. I'd recommend this read to anyone. --Katie Crouch, New York Times best-selling author It's a beautiful book. Beautiful in every way. --Tim Garvin, CEO, United Way Funny and endearing.
