Publisher's Synopsis
You don't have to be a boy to enjoy this collection of Lowcountry boyhood adventure stories from the 1950s-adventures that modern-day boys can only dream of. Follow Eddie and his pals at the mortar battery, the dump, Goat Island, community center, and the baseball diamond. Share Eddie's fears as he is stranded in the darkness, faces a ghost after breaking into the wrong summer house, finds a monkey on the beach, and fights with bigger boys. Laugh at Eddie's adventures and misadventures with the ladies, and share his embarrassment as he falls in love with the shrimp boat captain's wife. Although originally intended for a youthful audience, there is something in this book for everyone.
