A lovely coming-of-age tale filled with humor and pathos and
unexpected twists...The characters are quirky, eccentric, and lovable.
-- Kirkus Reviews
Harold Little Klein can't seem to measure up. Surrounded by the Bigs,
his boisterous gang of older brothers, and the bustling, bighearted
Mother Klein, Harold often feels little and left out -- until the day a
stray dog named LeRoy becomes his inseparable companion. Join a cast of
colorful characters in a rural river town circa 1949, where boys wrestle
and fish, swipe pies, ride perilous waters on homemade rafts, and
sometimes quietly become heroes.
