Helpful Score: 1

Harry Middleton managed to take his own personal coming of age story, change the names of people and places, jumble the order of events and produce an American Classic story. With great humor and pathos, he tells the story of a damaged adolescent sent to live with his grandfather and great uncle on a dirt poor farm in 1960's Arkansas. His story-telling is flawless and heart-warming. You fall in love with the characters. For anyone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world and the wonders it holds, this book is a must read. I've loaned and given away numerous copies and have never heard anything but praise for this book.
