Me, Boo and The Goob: A Southern Adventure in Bloomington, MN

This book is a very humorous southern adventure about three young boys in the 1960s trying to make their way in the world of the South. They get themselves into a lot of mishaps, some trouble, and even hunt ghosts in a dilapidated old mansion. They foil a crime in one of their many adventures. The book will have you reminiscing about your own childhood, when friends hung together, doing what kids do and reaping the consequences.
The author bills this as fiction, but it reads like a series of connected essays that form a first person, non-fiction account of (possibly) his own childhood (albeit with a generous helping of "fish story" creative embellishment, and maybe a flat out whopper or two). His sense of place is strong, his voice is authentic.
