About This Book

A young boy nicknamed Squib, regarded as the odd one in a large family, prefers outdoor adventures to nursery play. Sent away for holidays, he stays at a chalet in the hills where he meets local children, including a little goat-herd, and forms close comradeships. The episodes chart everyday pleasures, a memorable long walk, interactions with an adult named Herr Adler, a frightening mountain storm, and plans, farewells, and a final return home. The narrative emphasizes friendship, practical resourcefulness, and the small rites of growing up.
