Blue Collar Kids
Welcome to the website where kids are in control. Kids are, to borrow from a Kris Kristofferson song, " a walking contradiction, partly truth, partly fiction." Blue Collar Kids will spark the imaginations of adult and young adult readers and like pied pipers, magically make us follow their lead as they wind their way through this series of outlandish and exciting adventures.
"Stinky" Miller, "Giggy" Brown, "A.J." Jankowski, "Heavy Duty" Johnson, "Rickets" Johanson, "Weasel" Dinkins, "Shavey" Bernstein, Trudy Campbell and their friends...
* pick a fight with the rats of Cedar Hill in "Rats, A Slingshot & The Dumps,"
* battle the dreaded Tangerine sisters in "The Great Shingle Massacre,"
* turn a sandlot football game into a war zone in "The Big Game,"
* double as walking sticks for the town drunks in "The Stagger Factor,"
* look death in the eye in "The Race,"
* expose the hypocrisy of rumor in "Robin & The Ref,"
* and stumble into the throes of puppy love in "Spin The Bottle."
What makes Blue Collar Kids unique is the fact that the kids will grab the readers and pull them into each story to follow along not only as observers, but to laugh, cry, and feel as one of them.
