Johnny B. Goode: Escapades of a Country Boy, 1950

Have you ever wondered what children who had no cell phones, television, internet, or even a swimming pool did all summer? Meet Johnny B. Goode, a young boy growing up in a rural southern Mississippi community in the 1950s. Each chapter of this book relates some of the escapades a boy living in the country might instigate. There was no organized children's programs and very little crime, so a boy could roam the whole community as long as he could get there by walking or on his bike. The only times he had to check in were at the noon and evening meals. A boy in the country would invent ways to have fun, sometimes creative and other times downright dangerous. Enjoy the escapades of Johnny B. Goode in a little town called Union, Mississippi in the 1950s.
