About This Book
A resourceful streetwise adolescent seeks employment and earns a place in a merchant’s shop through audacity and charm; his keen observation, physical agility, and boldness propel him into a series of episodic investigations that confront petty criminals, unscrupulous characters, and social hardship. The narratives blend action and humor while showcasing practical cleverness, moral courage, and loyalty, as the youth uses informal detective methods to protect the vulnerable, solve mysteries, and pursue a better life beyond the limits of his upbringing.
