Mickey Mantle Doesn't Eat Broccoli

By Philip Schlaeger

Book Overview

It's 1957, and thirteen-year-old Philip Morris Kleinmann--nicknamed "Skippy" in loving memory of Uncle Nate's late Scottish terrier--already knows zits are caused by eating broccoli, oral book reports are a violation of the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment, and Annette Funicello is blowing kisses at him. Now he has clear, daily proof that this is the year he'll meet the baseball great he idolizes. MICKEY MANTLE DOESN'T EAT BROCCOLI is for anyone who's ever been a thirteen-year-old boy...and for anyone who's ever known one.
