Title: Christmas Story goes 70's Pastor's Kid
Review: This book is very funny. I found myself chuckling out loud. It was a nice change of pace from the heavy stuff that I normally like to read.It reminded me a lot of "A Christmas Story" except that it wasn't about Christmas, an elementary school boy, or the 1940's.The story is about a socially awkward 12 year old boy who moves to Fred, Texas after living in Chicago in the 1970's. He shows up to Fred wearing his polyester bell bottoms where the social normal was Levi's and Cowboy boots.It's very endearing. The Character development was very good as well.A note of interest:The first 69% is the book itself69%-78% is the first four chapters of the next book in the series78%-100% is a book club study guide followed by all the other stuff that you put at the end of a book.The author assured me that the first 69% is 260 pages, so I am bumping it from 3 star to five.
