Publisher's Summary
Still, Richard Peck is a master of comedy, and even in this novel of wartime uncertainty, he infuses his tale with humor: oddballs and rascals and boyhood misadventures alongside the poignant moments. This is one of Richard Peck's very finest novels - a tender, unforgettable portrait of the World War II home front and a family's love.
What the critics say
"This book is an absolute delight." (School Library Journal, starred review)
"Chock full of eccentric characters and poignant moments, this coming-of-age novel will be embraced by children and grownups alike." (Publishers Weekly)
"No one does nostalgia better than Peck, and this episodic story of a boy's life on the home front just before and during World War II is a charmer." (Booklist)
