Of a road trip in a wood-paneled station wagon, with the kids in the way-back, singing along to the Steve Miller Band. Of brothers waking up early on Saturday mornings for five consecutive hours of cartoons. Of growing up in a magical era populated by Bic pens, Mr. Clean and Scrubbing Bubbles, lightsabers and those oh-so-coveted Schwinn Sting-Ray bikes. And of a father -- one of 3M's greatest and last eight-track salesmen -- traveling across the country on the brand-new Boeing 747, providing for his family but wanting nothing more than to get home.In Sting-Ray Afternoons, Steve Rushin paints an utterly nostalgic, psychedelically vibrant portrait of a decade overflowing with technological evolution, cultural revolution, as well as brotherly, sisterly, and parental love.\"Funny, elegiac... a remarkably sunny coming-of-age story about growing up in a Midwest world.\" -- NPR\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535561097504,"sku":"NEW0316392251","price":12.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71YiHXNgEgL.jpg?v=1777394347","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sting-ray-afternoons-0316392251","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
