Good Old Boy by Willie Morris
GOD OLD BOY: A DELTA BOYHOD is a novel for young readers about a boy's adventures growing up in post-WI Mississippi. Author Willie Morris, then editor of Harper's Magazine in New York, wrote GOD OLD BOY when his son David, age ten, asked, What was it like to grow up in Mississippi? Morris's response turned into a timeless story of growing up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, in the early 1950s, roaming the town with his friends and playing practical jokes and having adventures. GOD OLD BOY is recommended for sixth through ninth grade.
