Robin Hemley's childhood made a wedgie of his memory,
leaving him sore and embarrassed for over forty years. He
was the most pitiful kindergartner, the least spirited
summer camper, and dateless for prom. In fact, there's nary
an event from his youth that couldn't use improvement. If
only he could do them all over a few decades later, with an
adult's wisdom, perspective, and giant-like height... In the spirit of cult film classics like Billy Madison and
Wet Hot American Summer, in DO-OVER! Hemley reencounters
paper mache, revisits his childhood home, and finally
attends the prom--bringing readers the thrill of
recapturing a misspent youth and discovering what's most
important: simple pleasures, second chances, and the
forgotten joys of recess.
