I finally got around to reading this one after being on my shelf for a couple of years and I have to say that it was really enjoyable. This is a Bradbury novel that tells the story of a magical summer in 1928 from the perspective of Douglas, a 12-year old boy. Actually, the book is a collection of stories told about various characters in a small town in Illinois. The characters and events in this novel are very memorable and include stories of the old and how death affects everyone in the town. Bradbury has a knack for making common day events mystical and enchanting. I would highly recommend this one!
