“With December wet and gloomy on the horizon, now is not the time to while away the hours with memoirs of tortured souls surviving agonizing childhoods. Better to spend one's leisure time with Stuart McLean. McLean, who has brightened many a Sunday afternoon on the radio, is a master storyteller with a talent for adding just one more twist, one more descriptive detail to hilarious tales of good intentions gone wrong. Sam, for instance, a boy with a burning desire to be an athlete but with no talent in that direction. One day, clad in full defensive gear, he shines as a goalie on a field hockey team and is delighted . . . delighted that is until the coach calls him Samantha and he realizes it's a girl's team. These and similar stories, while not improving the weather, will at least make it more bearable.”—Ann, Eagle Harbor Book Company, Bainbridge Island.
