Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Dallas leaned far out of the window, his eyes fixed on a bird flying lazily in the distance. Sun slanted through the clouds above, as if a spotlight were aimed on the bird."
Industry Reviews
"There's an appealing folkloric tinge to this novel....Reluctant readers may also appreciate the very short chapters (some are no more than two pages in length) and the easygoing dialogue."
"Creech's bright humor, vivid characterization, and deft language, combined with the twists and turns of the plot, make reading this novel aloud a rare treat."
