City Boy · the Adventures of Herbie Bookbinder

**An "enormously entertaining" portrait of "a Bronx Tom Sawyer" ( *San Francisco Chronicle* ), *City Boy* is a sharp and moving novel of boyhood from Pulitzer Prize winner Herman Wouk. **

A hilarious and often touching tale of an urban kid's adventures and misadventures on the street, in school, in the countryside, always in pursuit of Lucille, a heartless redhead personifying all the girls who torment and fascinate pubescent lads of eleven.
