When fourth grade ends, Ricky is on his own for the summer because his parents have jobs and his sisters are, well, they’re sisters so he’s not interested in them. The summer begins on a high note as he begins gathering items left at people’s curbsides, things like lawn mowers, baby strollers, old lamps, and appliances.
His plans to build a vehicle go well, and then he starts building a robot. But his plans are interrupted as he rides around the neighborhood one morning and gets jumped by Mike. Mike beats up Ricky, leaving him bloody and his bike in ruins. Fearing his father’s reaction to the wrecked bike and his mother’s reaction to his torn and bloody clothing, Ricky hides both and secretly works on repairing his bike.
His relationship with his father is confusing for Ricky as he tries to please him but just cannot seem to do so. Ricky’s father is equally confused by their relationship. The summer meanders through other adventures, including a recurring nightmare in which Ricky, a skinny kid, is flushed down the toilet. Catastrophe follows disaster as Ricky works to keep his summer secrets from his parents, fearing they will get a babysitter to keep watch over him if they know some of the many things that have been going on.

Well, folks. I'm the author. The book was an adventure into myself with eyes towards the lives of children who think they aren't writers. But they are. We just have to keep reminding them that their stories make a difference in our world.Product details

Flush The Exaggerated Memoir of a Fourth Grade ScaredyCat SuperHero edition by Rick Meyer Children eBooks Reviews
This book is a compelling read from start to finish. An honest and heartfelt portrayal of a boy's summer exploring the neighborhood on his bike, coping with bullies and uncomfortable friendships - and dealing with his hard working parents. A slice of life story told with humor and realistic responses of a 10 year old boy. I enjoyed it as an adult, but I think fourth or fifth graders would love it.y
FLUSH is a delightful romp through childhood, and a detailed picture of what life was like growing up in the 60s. The narrator invites readers into the mind of a young boy trying to navigate his way through family, school, and neighborhood events. He's a warm and likable kid, who trusts us with his secrets and fears, even while inviting us to laugh with and at his adventures. Great companion to GUYS READ, and worthy bookclub material for kids or adults.
While reading Meyer’s Flush The Exaggerated Memoir of a fourth Grade Scaredy-Cat Super-Hero, my mind kept drifting to Susan Patron’s 2007 award winning The Higher Power of Lucky. Flush is an excellent read that includes the authentic inclusion of young male voices; the realistic relationships between young boys; the way a reader may identify with a kid who is a loner and yet quite able to have many great hours of summer fun; and the understandable difficulty in the communication between father and son.
Meyer sprinkles humor throughout the book and Ricky’s thoughts and his way of being a child were excellently portrayed. I felt close to Ricky, like I’d want to watch him out the window if I could. I wondered if I had lived on his street when I was a kid if we might have been friends. I hope so.
This is a TERRIFIC book for all ages. It's a quick read. I laughed, cried, and once again was reminded about the goodness of our public school teachers.
Loved every page of this entertaining book. I even laughed out loud during portions that reminded me of my own, similar adventures. Thank you for sharing your delightful story, Rick!
Simultaneously heartwarming, heartbreaking and humorous, Rick Meyer takes you along on the summer adventures of a young boy as he faces all the complex challenges of growing up. Whether you are a kid of today or 40 years ago, you will relate to Ricky as he tries to enjoy the simple summer pleasures of bike riding and ice cream while neighborhood bullies, difficult father-son relationships, and inner struggles get in the way. Masterfully told by an adult but from a boy's perspective, Ricky's story captures your heart and imagination from beginning to end, and keeps you rooting for the kid in all of us who must overcome fear, doubts and disappointments with cunning, courage and love.
I loved this book! It was the perfect mix of funny, sad, touching, and nostalgia. The way he captures the right details of moments and places made me feel like I was there with Ricky seeing and experiencing everything with him. Even though I grew up in a different time and place I could relate to his feelings and was rooting for him the whole time. I read this as an adult but would have enjoyed it as a kid too.
Looking forward to a sequel if there is one!
Well, folks. I'm the author. The book was an adventure into myself with eyes towards the lives of children who think they aren't writers. But they are. We just have to keep reminding them that their stories make a difference in our world.
