Description: A lively story warm with humor and bright with incident and personality. In 1912, the fatherless Moody family moved from Colorado to Medford, Massachusetts, when Ralph was entering his teens. Struggling to adapt as a city boy, he faces numerous challenges that are more tolerable in his home state. Desiring to be a city dweller, he frequently finds himself in trouble due to small mishaps that would have been acceptable in the countryside. Eventually, he is sent to his grandfather’s farm in Maine, where he discovers new adventures and experiences that shape his life.
