Knots in My Yo-Yo String

<b>Newbery medalist Jerry Spinelli has penned his early autobiography with all the warmth humor and drama of his best-selling fiction. And don't miss the author's highly anticipated new novel <i>Dead Wednesday!</i></b> <p/>A master of those embarrassing gloppy painful and suddenly wonderful things that happen on the razor's edge between childhood and full-fledged adolescence --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>From first memories through high school including first kiss first punch first trip to the principal's office and first humiliating sports experience this is not merely an account of a highly unusual childhood. Rather like Spinelli's fiction its appeal lies in the accessibility and universality of his life. Entertaining and fast-paced this is a highly readable memoir-- a must-have for Spinelli fans of all ages.
