Four short stories about fifth graders Bradley Schultz and his buddy, the decidedly quirky O'Connell.
The Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn of Midville's fifth grade, Bradley and O'Connell organize a backyard golf tournament, create a boycott of the school cafeteria, try to explain the workings of outer space and re-enact one of Mark Twain's famous short stories.
Excerpt
O'Connell bent down, picked up his ball and began scrubbing it briskly up and down on his jeans. "Dirt," I thought I heard him mutter. I wondered what possible difference a little smudge or two would make. O'Connell set the ball on the ground, straightened, line up his club, and drew back.
SPLAT!
The next thing I knew, the air was filled with something wet. When it cleared, there stood Granger, yellow streaks running all down his face and sputtering like he'd been underwater for two weeks.
