Reseña del libro "A Kid's Kingdom: Growing up in the City of Destiny (en Inglés)"
Growing up in Tacoma, WA, "The City of Destiny," provided author Lance Lambert with the opportunity to grow from a little guy that thought the night-time darkness was eaten by magic bugs, to a guy that, on the night of his high school graduation, learned that he was not as talented as he thought. In the years between he was kissed by a wealthy butcher's daughter, forcefully extracted from a train, singled out by a president, helped to identify foreign spies, and found out that nudity and peanut butter are not necessarily a good combination. His regrets include shoplifting at the local five & dime, winning a contest by deception, and expressing his opinion about his Cub Scout troupe's den mother. Triumphs include a short career as a pirate, and the successful use of a motor scooter to win the hearts and hands of the cutest girls in school. Lance Lambert's latest book will take readers back to a time when a typical day included everything from throwing dirt balls at friends to helping bring law and order to the neighborhood. "Lance's stories are achingly truthful, often laugh-out-loud funny, and generous in spirit... his quick wit and sense of the absurd had me wiping away tears of laughter... he brings universal recollections into the light of warm affection so we can take part in a shared appreciation for the ridiculousness and precariousness of life."
