It really doesn't matter what small American town you grew up in, because the author is able to relate stories that make you remember that those things happened to either you, your best friend or someone you knew. If you want a quick reading book that will have you laugh and maybe shed a tear please read this book. I highly recommend Aberdeen High Jinks.

This review is from: Aberdeen High Jinks (Paperback)

Who doesn't remember being a teenager? Return to this time of your life through the eyes of a guy that survived entering high school, going on his first blind date, encountering a very mad porcupine, skinny dipping and getting caught by a gaggle of giggling girls, cars, friends, family and all the things that propel us toward adulthood. Go on this adventure with Steven Stoker and dig into your memories along the way. You may find yourself in one or more of these stories that are guaranteed to bring a smile and perhaps a tear, but definitely a memory or two.
