This book is a collection of true short stories that capture the childhood adventures of a mischievous boy who grew up in South Georgia. Several of the stories are near-death adventures, and each story has a value-based message that reinforces the importance of great decision-making in young people. All the stories are true. This is the first book by this author who had an exciting, but healthy and happy, childhood. Readers will find these stories believable, funny, shocking, and dramatic. The intended audience is 6- to 15-year-olds and the life tips contained in the articles are valuable and experience-based, from a boy who sometimes learned the hard way and sometimes was just a victim of fate. The author acknowledges that he does not understand why God has chosen to continue his life, even though there have been multiple near-death experiences. In one story, the author was shot in the forehead with a razor-sharp deer hunting arrow at a distance of about 100 yards. In another story, he was making money by picking pinecones near the top of a tree and his aluminum pole contacted an electrical power line. In another story, he narrowly escaped near death or serious injury from a cottonmouth water moccasin. Each story has been told hundreds of times by the author and time after time, people who hear these stories of near death are shocked and on the edge of their seats. You will not believe them, but there are articles in newspapers documenting two of the incidents, and the balance are not documented, but true. And get this, fantastic values and lessons are built into each story. The book is printed in color and has larger fonts with large illustrations in color to add interest to each story.
