There's something about the melancholy illustrations and the youthful innocence, anger and fear that permeates this odd ball of a book, which gives it a certain charm. From racing toothpicks in the flow of freshly thawed gutter runoff to negotiating with grown up problems as a confused pre-teen, Harvey tackles all the joys and heartache of childhood through clever text and illustrations. Very quick read...C and i read it in about 15 minutes.
5 stars out of 5
