A Story of Dissapointment and Challenge
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Probably best for 5-9yrs. It's a somewhat somber story, but with a character (Uncle James) that's as real as they get.This story is told through the eyes of Jimmy, a young boy who is forced to grow up at a very young age, because his father has died, and has left the family to run their Indiana farm without him. They are hungry, the baby is sick, and they're all tired from trying to keep the farm going.But Jimmy's Uncle James is their savior. He will be coming to help out, and make things great. He has been logging out west, and writes the family of his many, incredible adventures. Only when Uncle James shows up, things aren't so great. He is not the success story he has made himself out to be. He's not perfect. He has problems. But Uncle James, and everybody rises above this, and works to make things better.
