How Angel Peterson Got His Name by Gary Paulsen
When you grow up in a small town in the north woods, you have to make your own excitement. High spirits, idiocy, and showing off for the girls inspire Gary Paulsen and his friends to attempt: Shooting waterfalls in a barrel. The first skateboarding. Jumping three barrels like motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel-except they only have bikes. Hangliding with an Army surplus target kite. Bungee jumping. Wrestling ...a bear? Extreme sports lead to extreme fun in new tales from Gary's boyhood. !
Gary Paulsen has won the Newbery Honor Award three times, for "The Winter Room", "Hatchet" and "Dogsong"
