Return to the streets, sheds, and backyards of early 20thcentury America in this nostalgic and humorous sequel to Penrod. Young Penrod Schofield and his best friend Sam are up to their usual mischiefduels with wooden swords, secret societies, illfated performances, and imaginative schemes that rarely go as planned. Booth Tarkington's loving portrayal of boyhood brims with both hilarity and tenderness, offering a vivid glimpse into the joys, frustrations, and creative chaos of adolescence, Beyond the hijinks, the novel subtly explores issues of class, conformity, and growing up in a world that often misunderstands children. With richly drawn characters and periodperfect detail, this is more than a lighthearted rompit's a timeless portrait of youth in all its irrepressible, chaotic glory. A classic for readers young and old.
