• Time capsule to adventure! The 1970's were a time of high adventure. A young boy could be a superhero, a space alien, a Super Bowl quarterback, and much more. Throw in a nefarious Little Brother, who was constantly trying to upset the natural order of Big Brother dominance, and you have an epic struggle of good vs. evil in the upper Midwest. In the tradition of Jean Shepherd's A Christmas Story, John Phythyon reminisces on the comical hijinks of two boys battling for dominance in the schoolyard, on the football field, and within the walls of a modest split-level home in sleepy De Pere, Wisconsin, against a backdrop of superhero TV shows, Star Wars on the big screen, and Cincinnati Reds baseball. Pity the parents. "This is written for anyone who has ever been a kid that did something that they had no real business getting away with, but somehow did anyway." --David Vermooten "With a sprinkle of Garrison Keillor and a splash of Bill Bryson, Phythyon spins a real life adventure about being adventurous." --Christopher Watson "I recommend it highly for any children of the '70's, lovers of humor, and of the adventures which children find themselves having." --Ryan Flessing "This is today's version of 'A Christmas Story.'" --Ellen Mercure
