Fyfe MacPhee, Spit's grandfather, is an unstable man, and Spit is largely left to fend for himself fishing on the riverbanks that surround his new home. Opinions of Spit divide the village; some feel he can look after himself, others think he would be better cared for in a children's home. When Fyfe passes away, the debate intensifies, and Spit's future is left hanging in the balance. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

There are echoes of Huckleberry Finn here, and the book put me in mind of a wonderful, more recent novel for older children/younger teens: Alabama Moon by Watt Key. Like these books, Aldridge’s is concerned with a boy on the fringes of society, who is deeply and essentially good.
There’s a bit of language in the book that may trouble the politically correct—references to “”black fellas” and “African heathens”, but I feel that taken in the context of the novel, the use of these words is not offensive.
I really enjoyed this book. ( )
