Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bobbie, General Manager: A Novel
AM a junior in the which stands for Hilton Classical High School, and am sixteen years old. I live in a big brown house at number '240 Main Street, and my father is a state senator in Bos ton. I am a member of the First Congregational Church, which I joined when I was thirteen, and am captain of the basket-ball team at the high school. I have travelled as far east as Revere Beach, as far west as the Hoosac Tunnel, on my way to Aunt Ella's funeral in Adams, and as far south as New London, Connecticut, where I watched my oldest brother Tom row in a perfectly stunning eight-oared boat-race on the Thames. I haven't been north at all. I have had six diseases, including scarlet fever and typhoid, with which I almost died last year, and as a result of which am now wearing my hair as short as a child with a Dutch-cut.
