by Will Weaver
Carver County Library, paperback, ? pages
genre: YA coming-of-age
This was our December PRMS book club title. It was a re-read for me. Will Weaver is one of my favorite Minnesota authors. In this story, a 16-year-old boy is encouraged by his mother to get a job in town (rather than staying on the farm) for the summer. When he starts working at a gas station, he "meets the public" as his mother intended. My favorite parts are the ones with the gangster. I like this main character and his growth as a young man. The book club enjoyed it.
