A completely absorbing collection of memories about the exploits of a thirteen-year-old Gary Paulsen and his friends, detailing their quest for fun and excitement. His friend Carl Peterson attempts to break the land-speed record on skis waxed with paraffin, being towed along behind a car - and comes out of the experience alive but with a new name! Other stunts include hitching behind cars on home made skateboards, taking to the air on a giant kite, wrestling bears at the carnival to impress girls and travelling over a waterfall in a barrel.
