About the book

Set in the summer of 1975, Vinny Potkevich runs away from an abusive dad and gets a job at a massive amusement park—only to fall under the spell of roller coaster legend and certified madman P.K. Hopper. Relishing the unexpected joys and dramas of an exhilarating first job and romance, Vinny gets a week-long crash course in life and takes us along for the infectious, sensory ride.
