Artie is a boy that gets bullied by his cousin, and brags about something he shouldn't. He learns over the course of the story how to best deal with a bully - with help from adults, standing up for himself, and proving the bully wrong.
Artie learns also about why it is important to keep your word, and the importance of family from his Uncle Chester, and the shopkeeper, Mimi.
Written from a child's perspective, the lessons are simple and honest, without the condescending fluff of most moralistic children's stories. Much better than the simple style suggests. ( )
