A long time ago on a planet near, near at hand . . .In 1977, a nine-year-old boy saw the most amazing movie ever. To a child already obsessed with superheroes and adventure, Star Wars was the penultimate cinematic achievement of all time. Not only did he desire to see it again and again and again, it changed the way he viewed the world.In his latest comical mini-memoir, John Phythyon takes you on a guided space-tour through the science fiction of the late '70's (especially Star Wars), his mad quest for the right toys and gadgets, and his absolute certainty that he was not of this Earth, but rather an alien prince with an heroic destiny. If Ralphie from A Christmas Story had grown up in the 1970's instead of the '30's, this would be his tale.Click "Look Inside" for a free sample.Praise for other mini-memoirs by John Phythyon:"Secret Identity: My True-Life Adventure as a Superhero""Short, witty, and at times heart warming, Phythyon gives us a window into the mind and soul of an eight-year-old boy. With a sprinkle of Garrison Keillor (A Prairie Home Companion) and a splash of Bill Bryson (The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid) Phythyon spins a real life adventure about being adventurous."--Chris Watson"Naughty & Nice: My True-Life Adventure with Santa Claus""I recommend it highly for any children of the 70's, lovers of humor, and of the adventures which children find themselves having."--Ryan Flessing"Domestic Disturbance: My True-Life Adventure in Sibling Rivalry""Another great book in the series. These mini-memoirs are so much fun to read and I usually finish them in one setting. They really are THAT good."--Amy BrantleyClick "Look Inside" above for a free sample of "Rocketed to Earth."
