The Real Dennis the Menace offers a groundbreaking approach to storytelling by speaking to the reader in a boy’s voice, and by using a memoir format to tell of his mischievous adventures growing up in L.A. in the early sixties. In this humorous, fast-paced read, the boy recalls his misspent youth spying on nuns at their convent swimming pool, climbing into a gorilla habitat at the zoo, taunting the groundskeeper at the Veteran’s Administration golf course, and more. As the stories unfold, the reader glimpses the man he’s going to become.
