  • Robert
  • O'Brien
  • was
  • born
  • in
  • the
  • late
  • '60s
  • in
  • Pasadena,
  • Texas.
  • Growing
  • up
  • as
  • a
  • boy
  • in
  • the
  • '70s
  • before
  • the
  • age
  • of
  • video
  • games,
  • VCRs
  • and
  • cable
  • television,
  • Robert
  • and
  • his
  • friends
  • used
  • their
  • vivid
  • imaginations
  • to
  • create
  • a
  • fantasy
  • world
  • around
  • their
  • real-life
  • events.
  • We
  • Were
  • Boys
  • is
  • the
  • retelling
  • of
  • these
  • events,
  • cast
  • in
  • the
  • fantasy
  • in
  • which
  • they
  • were
  • first
  • imagined.
  • Hilariously
  • funny,
  • and
  • retold
  • in
  • great
  • detail,
  • we
  • follow
  • Robert
  • and
  • his
  • friends
  • as
  • they
  • parachute
  • into
  • enemy
  • territory,
  • travel
  • down
  • the
  • Amazon
  • River
  • and
  • make
  • the
  • first
  • landing
  • on
  • Mars.
  • The
  • stories
  • and
  • antics
  • of
  • Robert
  • and
  • his
  • friends
  • remind
  • us
  • that
  • imagination
  • is
  • how
  • dreams
  • begin,
  • And
  • that
  • without
  • imagination
  • we
  • might
  • have
  • never
  • taken
  • the
  • journeys
  • that
  • expanded
  • our
  • minds
  • and hearts.
