Description:

Critics compared Judith Richards' novel Summer Lightning, the story of a big-hearted little boy and his relationship with an eccentric old naturalist, to Tom Sawyer and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Now the hero of that best-selling book is back.

Redheaded, freckle-faced Terry Calder has returned to the swamps of the Everglades, where he lives in a migratory workers camp with his mother and younger sister.

Terry's idealistic father is in the thick of World War II, "investigating atrocities," and Terry has become "the man of the family." In this engrossing narrative, he also becomes the legs for a paraplegic veteran named Deke, the conscience for a confused, Seminole boy named Ossie, and sometimes the mind for a gentle friend who accidentally brings tragedy to them all.
