Review
An entertaining story that allows you to journey inside the minds of a group of young boys living in a small town who have the will to work and dreams of striking it rich. I thoroughly enjoyed the glimpse into life during simpler times, and I learned many interesting facts along the way. I especially enjoyed the use of humor throughout the story, the way the characters came to life in my mind as I read, and the plot twist at the end! If you enjoy nostalgic journeys, this book is for you!
