Back to the '80s with special guest, Award Winning Author, Michael Thomas Perone

Back to the '80s with special guest, Award Winning Author, Michael Thomas Perone

Toscano and Chang continue their banter about those things they cared less for in the '80s.  Today's special guest is Michael Thomas Perone an award-winning author who has written for The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore City Paper, Long Island Voice (a spinoff of The Village Voice), and The Island Ear (now titled Long Island Press), among others. Online, he has written for Fatherly, Yahoo!, WhatCulture!, and other websites that don’t end with an exclamation mark. He works as a Senior Editor in Manhattan and lives on Long Island with his wife and two daughters. What’s on top of Danger Peak? That’s what thirteen-year-old Robert Kin and his two best friends, wisecracking and loyal Chris and sweet but put-upon Rinnie, want to find out in their small suburban town of the late 1980s. The three teens are members of the motorbike-racing club the Wild Boars, and with the inadvertent help of their eccentric technology teacher, Dr. Howard (who prefers to be called “Doctor,” not “Mister,” thank you very much), they build Robert a better, faster, and stronger dirt bike—piece by piece. Haunted by flashbacks of his older brother Danny, who died trying to scale Danger Peak the year before, Robert becomes obsessed with conquering the magical mountain. For the respect of his friends and school, and with the aid of his improved Action Bike, he discovers what lies beyond the peak of the mountain—and maybe even beyond the bounds of Earth itself. Filled with humor, adventure, and, most importantly, heart, Danger Peak is an inspiring story about what it takes to achieve your dreams—and what it means to feel alive. Extra info: If you sign up for blog updates at www.dangerpeak.com, you’ll receive a free PDF of the book Lists, Life, and Other Unimportant Details, a collection of Michael Thomas Perone’s best blogs and published articles over the past 25 years.
