In 1957, nine-year-old Willie Tatten is transplanted to an apartment in the rough city of Lowell where he learns valuable lessons that will serve him well. But then the family moves him again, this time to his father's remote farm hidden in the thick woods of Central Massachusetts where more serious challenges, including isolation, loneliness, compassion and grief force Willie to mature faster than he could have imagined. Based on the author's own experiences, "Moving Willie" portrays childhood freedom today's young will envy, but grandparents will recall and make a place on the bookshelf alongside "Tom Sawyer" and "Old Yeller." |
