(3) YA After learning that he was adopted as an infant, a sixteen-year-old from small-town Idaho suspects that he is a descendant of King Louis the Fifteenth and Madame de Pompadour. The loosely constructed plot recounts Lewis's ruminations about his identity and his quest to catch a giant trout. A whimsical prose style and eccentric characterizations keep things light and appealing.
