Gr 8 Up-Crutcher was an awkward youngster, always chosen last for sports and the object of constant ridicule. While episodes of his life are often laugh-out-loud funny, Crutcher explores some of the more painful elements of his childhood. These include his mother's alcoholism, his uncontrollable temper, and strained family relationships. Audio version available from Listening Library.α(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Gr. 8-12. Like his novels, Crutcher's autobiography is full of heartbreak, poignancy, and hilarity. Candid and casual, Crutcher shares stories from his childhood and adolescence in Cascade, Idaho. Reminiscences of some of his youthful rites of passage are laugh-out-loud funny, such as his humiliating initiation into his high-school athletic club. On a more serious note, he discusses his occasionally rocky relationships with his parents and siblings. He talks openly about his struggles with a bad temper that constantly got him into trouble, how he came to terms with questions about God, how he confronted intolerance, and how he found his own place in the world. He also shares several painful glimpses into his work as a child and family therapist trying to help people heal some very broken lives. This honest, insightful, revealing autobiography is a joy to read. Crutcher's fans will relish this intimate glimpse of the author, and the book may win some new readers for his fiction. Ed Sullivan

Richie's Picks: KING OF THE MILD FRONTIER
By N. S.
" 'Wanna do something neat?' are four words that strike terror in my heart to this day. My answer was always yes when the question came from my brother. Then he'd tell me what the neat thing was, and it would always seem not so neat until he explained how what seemed like something that could really get you in trouble was, in fact, neat. Then I'd get in trouble."
Chris Crutcher's outrageous tales of being a little brother, a young scholar, a doomed outdoorsman, and an athlete of questionable repute caused me to convulse with laughter to the point where my head started to hurt, and I began figuring that just one more story like the last one and I'd surely pee my pants.
And lying just below the surface of this wacky World According to Young Master Crutcher is a sparkling mine full of poignant vignettes and profound-yet-simple truths about a youngster coming to terms with God, with death, with family, with intolerance, and with his place in the world.
In KING OF THE MILD FRONTIER, Chris Crutcher goes on to talk from the heart about his idea of real heroes and reveals several brief (and heartbreaking) glimpses of his work as a child and family therapist. He gives us a look at his path to becoming a writer. By the time he's done, readers have a sense of how the experiences and revelations have melded together into those honest and gritty novels that we know and love him for, and which earned him the 2000 Margaret A. Edwards Award, honoring lifetime contribution in writing for teens.
Chris Crutcher is a consummate storyteller. He's also a guy who knows how to slice through the crap that authority figures often try feeding to kids. Those two hundred plus pages of KING OF THE MILD FRONTIER: AN ILL-ADVISED AUTOBIOGRAPHY passed by much too quickly for me. Teens will be certain to eat this book up in a hurry and rush out to meet all of those characters he's brought to life over the past two decades.
This is guaranteed to be on my Best of 2003 list!

KING OF THE MILD FRONTIER
If you want to read a funny, hilarious, light book, King of The Mild Frontier is the book for you. King of The Mild Frontier is an autobiography written by Chris Crutcher. This book is about 250 pages long and almost every chapter is a story of his life (except for 2). One of my favorite ( and the funniest) stories took place on a rainy day when Chris was trying to win a bike race, (key word is trying) read to find out. A few chapters ahead is a story when he was around 7 years old and his brother accidentally shot him with a bb gun in the temple! Again read to find out. But one of my favorite stories is when he was in tenth grade and he never did his homework. He went into Language Arts class early, (big mistake) and his teacher asked if he had finished his book review or not, of corse he didn't. He quickly made up a story, time was down to the last minute until it was due. Who could be the author? Chris thought. Who? It finally came to him...His plumber. Read to find out the details. All through the book you will find out what awful (but funny) tricks John played on him. All his life, Chris was a cry baby often referred to as a "bawl baby", and a kid who got made fun of all the time. All through the book you're looking back at Chris's younger years. This is one of my all time favorite books.
The characters in the book are Chris, his brother John, Johns "gangster" friends, his mom and dad, and some of Chris's various friends. As I said before, the book takes place during Chris's younger years (6-12), and some of his high school years. As you read the book you will soon find that Chris gets made fun of all the time for being a crybaby. He's one of those kids that has constant tantrums. For example at the beginning of the book, you will find that one time when he got mad he started hitting his head really hard on the bath tub repetitively. Read to find out. Chris's brother John, a couple years older than Chris, is very smart in a bad way, and sometimes mean kid. He's smart in a bad way because all through the book he tells lies to Chris to cover up what mistakes he made. For example, when he accidentally broke Chris's trophy that said JESUS (received trophy for going to church for a period of a year or so straight) and broke the J, so it turned into ESUS. Read to find out what happened. Their mom and dad are a little strict, but they are not mentioned a lot in the book.
Their dad is ofton referred to as Crutch and he works at a popular gas station.
Overall King of the Mild Frontier is number 2 in my top three books. I would encourage anyone who wants to read a light funny book to red King of the Mild Frontier. The book exceeds excellence because it is a book of many feelings. The book is not all funny, it's also mysterious, sad, and it really gets you thinking. I would give the book 4 out of five stars. I would give it that because it could be a big page turner. Overall, the book was great. One of the main reasons I like it so much is that because when you do something stupid or are worried about doing something stupid, the book says to you, it cant be anywhere as bad as Chris Cruthers mistakes.

Crutcher captures the joy and laughter of adolescence!!
By Ryan Scott W.
"Esus Saves," says Chris Crutcher in his absolutely hilarious book King of the Mild Frontier. Crutcher takes on an adventure through Cascade, Idaho and into elementry, high and into college. He shows us that the only way to get through hard times is to laugh. His rage and his obediance shows us that their is grass greener on the other side.
Chris Crutcher was raised in Cascade, Idaho. This autobiography tells us many stories of Chris Crutcher. He had begun his life as a "bawlbaby" telling us that your not the only one that is or has a little brother that cries with or without an absolute problem.
Chris had sit through 52 weeks of church at the Red Brick Church to get what he thought would be some action figure that blew up in you face doll. He got a glow in the dark plaque that read," Jesus Saves" He liked it just as much, his older brother John Crutcher, was messing with the plaque and accidentily broke the "J" of the plaque. It had now read, "Esus Saves" Chris now begun to cry stating that he was going to tell mom. This his said he had a secret to tell him. That Jesus had an older and wiser brother that thought up all the wise stuff. "No way," Chris had said.
"Yeah, his name is Esus," John said. Next Sunday he had told everyone that Jesus had an older wiser brother named Esus.
That was one of the many, many, many incindens he had with his brother and other people he had run amock with. This book is great for everyone who can enjoy laughing. This book got tied for the review of being"just a Young Authour" book. If your anybody, and I know there are some anybodies out there, read this book. It'll make your heart warm and yourself laugh.
