The Canyon Kids

This 1930-40's adventure, tells us about a Jewish boy, coming-of-age. As World War II breaks out, the neighborhood kids spend much of their time in the nearby canyons which offer a perfect hideout: a place for adventures, and mischief. Stanton and his "canyon kids" played war and learned about life. Their parents were busy working for the war effort, giving the kids lots of unsupervised time.

The Canyon Kids share their stories of adventure, initiation rites, mischief, troublemaking, first dates and just having fun. Some names have been changed to protect the guilty.
