Jim the Boy by Tony Earley

4.0

I re-read this book in anticipation of reading Tony Early's new book, The Blue Star, and found it just as enjoyable as I did the first time. A very simple story, no sex or violence, about a young, fatherless boy growing up in a small southern town in the 1920's. Very sweet. Nicely captures the innocence and confusion of childhood.
