Within ten short days in 1964, a young boy's life changed forever on his first vacation. Ronnie Shaw, a 6th-grader from the inner-city projects of Atlanta, climbed aboard the big yellow bus with thirty-three other boys for the vacation of a lifetime filled with laughter, tears, and tragedy. In 1964, Ronnie Shaw is a recent graduate from the sixth grade with perfect attendance for the school year. Due to their perfect attendance, he and thirty-three other boys have won an all-expenses-paid vacation through The Warren Memorial Boys' Club of Atlanta, sponsored by McDonald�s Hamburgers and The Lion�s Club. They will act as McDonald�s Hamburgers� �Official Taste Testers� during their journey around Florida. For a few on the bus, this is their first vacation. Two adults and four teenage chaperones guide these young men on the greatest, wildest vacation ever. Most of the boys aren�t from the projects like Ronnie and his older brother, Mike, who is a chaperone. Travel with these young boys and men back to 1964; laugh and cry with them as they experience life at its best and, at times, rawest. Climb aboard the big, yellow bus; experience why and how lives can change in a mere ten days. For at least one of The Yellow Bus Boys there will be plenty of dramatic turns within the Sunshine State.
