Description: King of the Mild Frontier - by Chris Crutcher (Paperback) - NEW - actual item pictured. Thank you for your interest, please browse some of the other items in my store. From trying to impress a member of the girls' softball team (with disastrous dental results) to enduring the humiliation of his high school athletic club initiation (olives and oysters play unforgettable roles), Chris Crutcher's memoir of the tricky road to adulthood is candid, disarming, laugh-out-loud funny, relevant, and never less than riveting. He vividly describes a temper that was always waiting to trip him up even as it sustained him through some of the most memorable mishaps any child has survived. And how did this guy (he lifted his brother's homework through the entire tenth grade) ever become a writer, not to mention the author of fourteen critically acclaimed books for young people? The frontier may be mild, but the book is not. Fans of Tara Westover's Educated, Jack Gantos's Hole in My Life, and Walter Dean Myers's Bad Boy will laugh, will cry, and will remember. "Funny, bittersweet and brutally honest. Readers will clasp this hard-to-put-down book to their hearts even as they laugh sympathetically."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) Suggested Age: 14 YearsNumber of Pages: 260Genre: Young Adult NonfictionSub-Genre: Biography & AutobiographyFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Greenwillow BooksBook theme: LiteraryAuthor: Chris CrutcherLanguage: EnglishStreet Date: October 5, 2004TCIN: 77246910UPC: 9780060502515
