(2) 4-6 Millionaire factory owner Anson Boulderwall is looking for someone to groom to be his business's next president. When orphan Joe arrives in town to stay with his aunt in the summer of 1965, Boulderwall decides that Joe will be the one. Joe, however, dreams of becoming a scientist. Babbitt's subtle prose cloaks and deepens this brief moral fable of American ambition.
