City Boy by Herman Wouk
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.
