Book Review: Lawn Darts & Lemonade By Steven Manchester
More lessons to learn — and fears to overcome
In this sequel to Bread Bags and Bullies, which was set during school winter break of 1984 during a late Nor’easter in New England, you will again enjoy the antics of the three brothers now during the summer of 1984.
The author shares why he wrote this follow-up novel.
“In twenty-five years of writing fiction, I’ve never written a sequel — until now. At my core, I am a storyteller, and there are times when a story requires a bit more real estate than a single novel. Lawn Darts & Lemonade is one of those stories.
With many more lessons to learn — and fears to overcome — Wally, Herbie, and Cockroach step into the unforgettable summer of 1984.
Within each comical passage and every heartfelt scene, Lawn Darts & Lemonade is a tribute to my greatest heroes — my mother and father — who believed it was their job to raise me and my siblings. Thankfully, they took their job very seriously and worked hard at it.
My siblings and I are eternally grateful to them both.
