Title: How Angel Peterson Got His Name
Description: 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.
