Overview

Boyhood Adventures (Second Edition) is a work of historical fiction based on the experiences of three eight-year-old boys living in Texarkana, Arkansas, in 1953.

The main characters react in very different ways to each adventurous sortie. Dennis, the adventure seeker, is relentless in his pursuit of adrenaline. He is bolder than he is bright. Lee has become addicted to excitement and will follow Dennis almost anywhere if it means he doesn't have to listen to another radio program. Frank is the antithesis of Dennis. While reticent to explore the local graveyard, he thrives on his association with his two friends.Readers of the original version of this book seemed to enjoy it.
