This is the last book written by A.E. Hotchner, a writer from St Louis. This book tells the story of a young boy--12 years old in St Louis during the Depression, that because of circumstances is on his own. He father is arrested and being held as a witness to a murder. His mother is in a home for tuberculosis. Aaron the 12 year old, is locked out of their apartment and with little money. But he is a smart kid and is able to maneuver and investigate the murder. A good read with action moving quickly. A fun smart read with good characters. I enjoyed this book.
There are no copies on PBS but since a St Louis book and author, will be a keeper at least for now.
