Setting: Vermont in the 1920's
Rob and his best friend Soup use creativity and imagination to have a bit of fun and mischief.
Short chapters well suited for reluctant older readers. Each chapter is a self-contained story.
Points to discuss/warnings: I was enjoying this book immensely and was anticipating recommending this book to my reluctant boy students . . . but the word "ass" is said once and "jackass". Some people in the town said degrading statements about Jews. The boys cheat a Jewish man and then have remorse about it.
