Publisher's Synopsis
Young people of today find it hard to believe that a world existed before PDAs, handheld electronic devices and other modern marvels they have now to entertain themselves and to communicate with others; but one did exist, and in many ways and in many respects that era represented a real challenge to young energetic boys. Rather than just touch a screen with a finger or stylus and have something appear simultaneous on a screen they actually had to use their imaginations, creativity and skills to create exciting fun activities and projects.
Fun in the West Texas Sun was written for my grandchildren and nephews to illustrate to them some of the things my twin brother and I imagined and did growing-up in Monahans, Texas to fill all those long, hot summer days in the West Texas sun.
The old saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention" certainly applies to these two boys of West Texas.
