Description
Kid on the Go! is Neill McKee's third work of creative nonfiction. It's a standalone prequel to his award-winning Finding Myself in Borneo. In this new audiobook, McKee takes listeners on a journey through his childhood, adolescence, and teenage years, from the mid-40s to the mid-60s in the small, then industrially-polluted town of Elmira, Ontario, Canada. It is known as one of the centers of production for Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.
McKee's vivid descriptions and dialogue are a study of how a young boy learned to play and work, fish and hunt, avoid dangers, cope with death, deal with bullies, and to build or restore "escape" vehicles. You may laugh out loud as the author recalls his exploding hormones, attraction to girls, rebellion against authority, and survival of 1960s' "rock & roll" culture, emerging on the other side as a youth leader. After leaving Elmira, McKee describes his intensely searching university years, trying to decide which career path to follow. Except for a revealing postscript, the story ends when he accepts a volunteer teaching position on the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia.
