It was Memorial Day weekend, 1963. James, an
almost-fourteen-year-old, relatively shy, moderately
nerdy, horny and soon-to-be ninth grader in a small
central Florida town needed to start mowing yards to earn
enough money to buy his first car when he turned
sixteen.
That was the beginning of the bizarre "dream" summer
that introduced James to Mrs. Root Beer Lady, Monica
(the knock-dead-georgeous blond woman with ample
breasts), Mrs. Chyspo, and the old man, all of whom
changed into reptilian alien things that tried to kill and eat
him at every turn.
There was also Cookie, the hot little "cookie" whose
father ran the burger joint across from the service station
that James' father operated and where James often
helped out. There were the Kiches, the nosy next-door
neighbors and their son, Kevin-the neighborhood bully.
We can't forget James' best friend, Roger, whho had in
his possession the "girlie" magazine, which got 'read' a
lot that summer.
If you remember being an adolescent with a vivid
imagination, being anxious to grow up, getting your first
car, and starting to date for real; but who also had to work
hard, save your money and help
around the house, then you'll enjoy
this dream journey with James.
