Have you ever watched little boys at play and wondered what the heck is going through their minds?

"Don't Tell Mom: Shenanigans of a Small-Town Kid", is a collection of light-hearted true stories of childhood. We get to see the world through the eyes of a curious little boy, feeling his pain and joy, sharing in his experiences as we watch him grow up. Along the way, we unwittingly become co-conspirators in his mischiefs and accomplices to his misdeeds.

In a memoir described as "funny, clever, familiar, warm, and poignant", Greg Schweiner transports us to a simpler age, before video games and virtual lives-when kids spent their days outside in the real world, with their only directives being to "be back by supper... and don't get your brother killed". When kids were free to be kids. When 25 cents and a working bike meant freedom.

Take a trip back in time to a small Midwestern city and a nostalgic look at an era fading into history.
