Publisher's Note
Do You Know:

  • A good reason to be phobic about oysters and olives?

  • That you can step inside a roaring coal furnace and feet cool?

  • That Jesus had an older brother?

  • How shutting your mouth can help you avoid brain surgery?

  • How to avoid cow-pies during your baptism?

  • How to survive in the winter wilderness with only a fishing pole and a sausage?

Chris Crutcher
knows the answers to these
things and more.

And once you have read about Chris Crutcher's life as a dateless, broken-toothed, scabbed-over, God-fearing dweeb, and once you have contemplated his ascension to the buckskin-upholstered throne of the King of the Mild Frontier, you will close this book, close your eyes and hold it to your chest, and say, "I, too, can be an author."

Hell, anyone can.


Industry Reviews
"This is a good read and a deeply moving moral and philosophical work with important messages about life, death, relativity, heroism, and why bad things sometimes happen to good people. Like Gantos's HOLE IN MY LIFE (2002), it tells a strong story to get at strong truths. Essential for many fans of Crutcher's work, and new readers will go from here to his fiction."
Kirkus Reviews (04/01/2003)

"This is vintage Crutcher; under the humor there crackles a fierce anger toward the institutions and people who refuse to take responsibility for the emotional lifeworld they are bequeathing to their children.
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Karen Coats (05/01/2003)
