Publisher's Note This tale of an 11-year-old's struggle between innocence and evil begins with the discovery of a gruesome murder and ends with the revelation that, even in Zephyr, Alabama, life is not safe and simple--and most things and people are not what they seem to be. "Recaptures the magic of being a child in a world of possibilities and promise. . . ".--Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Industry Reviews "[This book] is really just gorgeous--it's McCammon's 'The Prince of Tides'...Incredibly moving--boyhood as it should have been, recollected in genuine and gorgeous detail. I loved it, and I want my son to read it, too." Peter Straub
