Review

Children’s Literature:

“Howie is an honorable and likeable kid who stumbles on a secret that’s just too good to keep, though he tries mightily. His voice is fresh with the wholesomeness of 40s slang and the ageless irreverence of just being a boy.  Especially well crafted are lifelike dialogues that zip with brevity and wit that will keep readers grinning. As Howie schemes to prevent the firing of his favorite teacher, readers will discover how different it was growing up in the wartime 40s and delight in the things that have remained the same in 2001.”
