A moving collection of stories from an award-winning author.
Gustas is nearly killed in the hurricane, trying to save his banana
tree; Nenna and her brother Man-Man patrol the coconut plantation in the
dead of night, ready to catch interlopers; Becky longs for a bicycle and
Fanso longs to find his father who walked out thirteen years ago. This
is a wonderfully atmospheric collection of contemporary short stories
that bring James Berry's Caribbean childhood vividly to life.
