In a starred review of this tale, told in seven self-contained chapters, about growing up in rural Canada during the 1960s, PW said, "Writing with hindsight and keen perception, the author extracts humor and truth—and a few life lessons—from a thoroughly likable adolescent's day-to-day trials." Ages 13-up. (Oct.)
