Neil Armstrong Is My Uncle and Other Lies Muscle Man McGinty Told Me by Nan Marino

A tender story about a tough-as-nails girl forced to take one small step towards understanding during the summer of 1969.

Muscle Man McGinty is a squirrelly runt, a lying snake, and a pitiful excuse for a ten-year old.the problem is that no one knows it but me. In the entire town of Massapequa Park, only I can see him for what he really is. A phony.

Tamara Ann Simpson is determined to expose Muscle Man McGinty, a foster boy new to her neighborhood, for the liar that she knows he is. Muscle Man tells the other kids his uncle is Neil Armstrong and he even has the audacity to challenge the entire block to a kickball game. So, why is Tamara the only one who can see through this kid?

It's the summer of 1969 and things are changing in Tamara's little town of Massapequa, Long Island, and in the world. Perhaps Tamara can take one small step towards a bit of compassion and understanding.

Marino, Nan: - Nan Marino grew up in Massapequa, New York, the same town as Jerry Seinfeld, the Baldwin brothers, and the musical group, The Stray Cats. Nan spent her childhood daydreaming in oak trees and on top of garage roofs. She did come down to earth for an occasional game of kickball. A librarian with degrees in library science and educational technology, Nan lives at the Jersey shore, with her husband and a very energetic dog.
