Tom Perrotta sets these tales in the 1970s. All of them feature Buddy, who progresses from a young Cub Scout to the end of his teenage years, following his experiences growing up in a New Jersey suburb. All of this is territory Perrotta knows well and has elaborated on skillfully in his subsequent books: this very appealing book of stories is his first. Some of the titles are: The Wiener Man, A Bill Floyd Xmas, The Jane Pasco Fan Club, and Wild Kingdom.
