The Trouble with Girls

by Kirk Adams

Eric Eules is in trouble—always.The sixth-grade graduate has a big problem—and it isn’t just that Woodland Hills neighborhood guru Burnout pushes him in a direction he can’t possibly go. His problem is that he’s at war with nearly every woman in his life at the very moment he has grown to desire nothing more than the love of one girl. His mother assigns him never-ending chores; his aunt taunts him as a male chauvinist piglet; and his sisters protest his frequent tinkling on the toilet seat. Most of all, he must face down classmate and nemesis Skinnydip—who stands between him and his beloved Lori Bloom.It's the summer of 1972 and Eric must complete a series of epic tasks in a herculean effort to win the love of Lori before the start of junior high school. If he fails to overcome even one of the many obstacles before him, he risks losing Lori forever.Return to a Midwest summer when boys wander field and forest, bicycle across town, play baseball, and even check out books from the library bookmobile. They spend cash earn from odd jobs and live with a freedom now hard to imagine. Most of all, boys begin to love the very girls who previously caused them so much trouble—and who would do so for the rest of their lives together.

I don’t think this book was spell checked…let alone properly edited. Don’t get me started on the lack of plot
