You will enjoy this book as you learn about or remember what it was like being a kid in the 1960s. Let's meet some of his memorable characters. Mickey is the 10-year-old main character and narrator. He's at that awkward age. He's growing up in 1963 and wonders if Santa is real or make believe. He wants to believe in Santa but none of his friends do. His belief in God will be tested when President Kennedy is killed and his older brother and best friend, Joey, becomes gravely ill. Mr. Hunter is Mickey's scoutmaster, and he looks like a Norman Rockwell character sitting around the campfire. He and Mr. Manhattan, the assistant scoutmaster enjoy taking the boys camping and teaching them to be prepared and self-reliant. Miss Kann is the newest, youngest and prettiest teacher in school, and Mickey gets to be in her fifth-grade class. She organizes the class Christmas play which becomes bedlam when the first graders attend.
