I just read Boomtown; Chang's Famous Fireworks by Nowen N. Particular. This book was published by Thomas Nelson Publishers in 2008.
Boomtown is not an ordinary town. It's the home of Chang's Fireworks Factory and the people of Boomtown love to blow things up. This unusual town is where Arthur Button moves his family in the 1940s. He's the newest pastor at Boomtown Church. Actually, he's the 25th pastor of Boomtown Church. The 24 preceeding pastors have all died in very unusual ways.
Written in the first-person voice of Rev. Button, this book presented memories of his family's adventures, the townspeople, and his struggle to feel comfortable in a new community. The author includes lessons on acceptance, trust, history, science and family devotion.
Your imagination will stretch and grow as you read all the hilarious incidents described in this book. This book has 323 pages and is illustrated with photographs, diagrams, drawings and maps. Boys in the middle grades will find this adventure story a real blast!
