Description: “The writing is as crisp, honest, wry, tough and tender as is Chauncey himself--a charming, gusty book with a moral: you don’t have to be ‘pushed around like a leaf in from of a rake,’ you can determine your own shape and direction.”--N.Y. Times. “The characterization is convincing, the writing style solid; the story is grim but strong.”--Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
