{"product_id":"bluffton-my-summers-with-buster","title":"Bluffton","description":"\u003cb\u003eMatt Phelan, graphic novelist extraordinaire, presents a rollicking tribute to vaudeville, small-town dreams, and Buster Keaton as a boy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the summer of 1908, in Muskegon, Michigan, a visiting troupe of vaudeville performers is about the most exciting thing since baseball. They’re summering in nearby Bluffton, so Henry has a few months to ogle the elephant and the zebra, the tightrope walkers and — lo and behold — a slapstick actor his own age named Buster Keaton. The  show folk say Buster is indestructible; his father throws him around as part of the act and the audience roars, while Buster never cracks a  smile. Henry longs to learn to take a fall like Buster, “the human mop,” but Buster just wants to play ball with Henry and his friends. With signature nostalgia, Scott O’Dell Award–winning graphic novelist Matt Phelan visualizes a bygone era with lustrous color, dynamic lines, and flawless dramatic pacing.","brand":"Matt Phelan","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44983820222757,"sku":"9780763650797","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/files\/BNCImageAPI_12800371-58f0-449b-a55f-5e491170269a.jpg?v=1683435195","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/bluffton-my-summers-with-buster","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
