{"product_id":"evel-knievel-jumps-the-snake-kelly-jones-9780991446803","title":"Evel Knievel Jumps the Snake River Canyon: And Other Stories Close to Home","description":"A new book from the author of THE WOMAN WHO HEARD COLOR.In a sharp departure from the settings of her earlier books-Paris, Florence, and Munich-Kelly Jones returns to her hometown of Twin Falls, Idaho, in this delightful novella and short story collection. Set in the summer of 1974, when Evel Knievel announces he'll jump the Snake River Canyon, the title story introduces the reader to ten-year-old Pick Patterson, his bossy Grandma Grace, and his unemployed, easy-going Uncle Buddy. The settings of the other stories range from a Laundromat, the public library, the bank of an Idaho river, and a Catholic grade school in the 60s, to the open road with a duo of unlikely runaways. Idaho author Kathy McIntosh calls the cast of characters \"endearing,\" and the stories delivered with \"gentle humor.\" Award-winning short story writer Alan Heathcock says it is, \"simply the most charming book I've read in a very long time.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0991446801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991446803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ninth Avenue Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/16\/2015","brand":"Kelly Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989696381183,"sku":"9780991446803","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ee6338e-5b0d-42ce-8324-7458e334ed5d.jpg?v=1683300930","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evel-knievel-jumps-the-snake-kelly-jones-9780991446803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
