Dead End in Norvelt

Ok so, I read this book a couple weeks ago and frankly, forgt to write about it.
 This book is autobiography about a boy named Jack, who is obsessed with Japanese weapons that his dad stored from his old war days. When Jack plays around with one of the rifles, he accidentally fires it and shoots it through the neighbors window, not knowing it was loaded. This results in him getting grounded and he goes to work for said neighbor, Miss. Volker. She works on writing obituaries, and cannot due too her hands, and Jack writes it for her. Later in the summer it turns mysterious when a certain someone starts to poison what Volker calls "the Original Norvelters". Along they way Jack learns more about town history, American history, his neighbors, and life in general.
         This was written by Jack Gantos, and took place in Norvelt, Pennsylvania. I believe in 1962.
 It was also an autobiography as before mentioned, of the life of Jack Gantos,
This book was awesome, it really was. I usually don't like non-fiction books, but this book made it in a way that was funny, and enjoyable, all while seeming real. The extra bits he added fitted well with the story, even if it lasted for a few moments. I'd recommend anyone to read this! This I probably one of the best non-series books I've ever read!
