Book excerpt: Did you know that the movies "The Sandlot" and "Radio Flyer" are based on true events? Yes, there really was a dog, a fence, and a baseball. And yes, there really was a 'King' (evil stepfather) and a flying wagon. Written by the real-life 'Bobby' (the younger brother in "Radio Flyer"), "Pacoima Days" is an engaging (and often humorous) memoir about survival, adventure, and the enduring bond between two brothers. The older brother (Dave Mickey Evans) grew up to become an iconic film director, writing two blockbuster movies about this childhood: "The Sandlot" and "Radio Flyer." However, the author (the younger brother) took a very different path in life, eventually becoming an inventor, educator, and author. Told with warmth, humor, and deep insight into the power of human connection, this is the story of what really happened in Pacoima, California, all those years ago.
