Rob Wood's THE FIVE GREATEST SPANKINGS OF ALL TIME is hilarious and heartwarming!
This funny and vivid memoir of three ornery boys giving their parents fits on "Rancho Roberto" in the 1950's is a colorful accounting of an era when life was far less complicated. I laughed out loud time after time following these misfits through the barn, the fishing pond, the stock-car track, the Saturday matinee and beyond. Rob's witty storytelling spins us a nostalgic Super 8 reel of an era long forgotten when fun and games for children didn't involve a microchip and Sunday dinner was sacred. The misadventures of these honyocks remind us that life is full of mischief and magic, and to never take a single moment for granted.
I'm certain you will enjoy these priceless escapades as much as I did. I look forward to Rob's next rodeo.
