City Boy

***DEDICATION: ''This story is dedicated to my mother.'' / By the author of ''The Winds of War.''***

**An "enormously entertaining" portrait of "a Bronx Tom Sawyer" *(San Francisco Chronicle)***, City Boy is a sharp and moving novel of boyhood from Pulitzer Prize winner Herman Wouk.

A hilarious and often touching tale of an urban kid's adventures and misadventures on the street, in school, in the countryside, always in pursuit of Lucille, a heartless redhead personifying all the girls who torment and fascinate pubescent lads of eleven.***--Goodreads & LibraryThing***
