Swimming in Jello is a rollicking snapshot of one of the wackiest, most unforgiving times in the life of every man and woman in America. It’s an opportunity to relive the horrors of junior high from a safe distance.
In a book that has been described as “perfectly capturing the aches and pains, joys and triumphs of a carefully avoided memory,” the author provides not only a sneak peek into his journey of discovery during (gasp) junior high, but also a glimpse at a golden era in American culture.
Side-splitting at times, eye-watering at others, every page introduces a new adventure populated by characters you’ll wish you could take home with you. Viewing the world through the unique lens of a junior high student, readers can explore such grand topics as The Beatles, television shows of the era, music that changed a generation, Mad magazine, first loves and first dates, seventh grade dances, best friends, worst enemies, cute girls and…spin-the-bottle.
