Follow on Google News | An Endearing Snapshot of a Bygone Era Seen Through the Eyes of a Grown Man Looking Back Across TimeWriter Michael J. Bellito writes an endearing and poignant story of a young man’s coming of age in the 1960s in Ten Again.
By: Eloquent Books That’s what Mike hears from his friends as he looks back on his final year of elementary school. Narrated by Mike, he reflects back on the many challenges that confronted him when he was 10 years old, such as dealing with the opposite sex and looking ahead with fear to junior high, and he remembers a time in his life when baseball, movies, fall and winter breaks, summer vacation, and swimming with his friends filled his life. From Halloween to Christmas morning and from Bozo buckets to a once-in-a-lifetime trip across the country to Disneyland, Mike is constantly in motion—and often in trouble. But he has his younger brother Tommy and a few close friends to help him navigate the vast suburban wilderness. This snapshot of a bygone era shows the last generation allowed to be kids taking full advantage of it—and having the time of their lives. Ten Again will be a treasure of a book for young adults and their parents—introduce your children and reminisce about a simpler time when children could be children.
