Did you know that magical bartenders make 200% more in tips than their non-magic coworkers? That sleep deprived truckers often turn into homicidal maniacs? That kick boxing matches are more about courage than they are about martial arts? By following the childhood development and mischief making of two friends who grow up in the Midwest United States, you will learn about the answers to these questions and many more. David Ponder and Zach Schaefer show how chance encounters can permanently alter life's trajectory. Getting into and out of trouble with one another as they navigate the treacherous waters of adolescence, Dave and Zach learn what loyalty is all about. Their antics appear farcical and humorous at first glance, but there are important nuggets of knowledge buried in their mischievous behavior that show how kids learn responsibility, even when they are least expecting it.
