About This Book

A young boy from a large family is sent to live with an aunt and over six months experiences small-town adventures: travel where he makes friends, searches for white mice, encounters a crooked boy, attends school and learns new skills, and joins a travelling show as a buffalo rider, where he bravely rescues a friend; episodes blend humor, domestic warmth, and lessons in responsibility and courage as he grows more confident and earns leadership among his peers.
