Old Yeller is the alltime Gipson classic, but this one is a close second and noone knows about it. It by no means covers the same ground as Old Yeller. It is also a first person narrative by a young boy but the feel is very different. The Gipson hallmarks of golden youth tinged with tragedy are there, but the overall feel is more lighthearted. There is more humor, which Gipson is master of. The book is suitable for all ages and will be enjoyed by anyone who takes the time to read it, and who is willing to pay 20$ or so to get a copy. It is very hard to find. I was on a waiting list for three months before a copy in my price range was available. If you want to just read it and not own it interlibrary loan will be able to scare you up a copy. And dont "lose" it after interlibrary gets it to you, if you do you will go straight to the lower levels of purgatory with the other book hoarders.
