Rating: 5/5
Review: The boy in question, is Cory Mackenson. He's an average eleven-year-old in the early 60's, that goes through some not so average events. The descriptions by this author were amazing. I could see every detail in my mind. The characters were lively, and very interesting. I loved the coming of age story with a murder mystery thrown in. This is a book that stays with you long after it's been returned to the shelf. Loved it!
