Never Cry "Arp!" and Other Great Adventures

Never Cry "Arp!" and Other Great Adventures by McManus, Patrick F.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780805046625.

Americas best-selling outdoor humorist for adults has a secret following: middle-grade and young-adult readers. Never Cry "Arp!" is a lively collection of twelve stories about young Pats misadventures in the Great American Wilderness. All the McManus regulars are here: Crazy Eddie Muldoon, the best friend everybody wishes they had (and everybodys mother wishes they didnt); Rancid Crabtree, the good-hearted, if gamey, woodsman; Pats skunk dog, Strange, who lives up to his name; and Pats pal, Retch Sweeney, who does, too. This is a book for kids who love to start fishing at 4am (at least they say they do) or for those who prefer to experience the mighty outdoors in the safety of their homes. "Everybody should read Patrick McManus," said the New York Times. Now, everybody can.
