( ) A book I enjoyed very much as a child, about Henry Reed, a bright 8th grade boy (father in the diplomatic service in Naples) spending the summer with an aunt and uncle in a very small village outside Princeton NJ; he and a neighbor girl, Midge Glass, form a research company and have a variety of amusing experiences, many involving run-ins with disagreeable neighbors and their cat. Some of the lines are genuinely witty -- a boy "as interesting a plate of cold spaghetti" has stuck with me for 40 years or so. I think the fact that Henry and MIdge come across as genuinely intelligent and independent-minded, though sometimes naïve, appealed to me as a clever boy myself. Henry is a diplomat's teenage son, sent to spend the summer near Princeton with his uncle and aunt. The only other kid around is a girl a little younger than he is. Together, they go into the research business. Lost beagles and escaped rabbits are only a few of their trials. Henry's deadpan journal entries relay the whole hilarious summer in understated style. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
