(4) 4-6 Based loosely on Mason's childhood experiences in rural Arkansas, this story is narrated by twelve-year-old Richard, whose goal is to buy a red scarf as a Christmas present for beautiful Rosalie. Along the way, he and his best friend have encounters with a host of offbeat and dangerous adversaries (human and animal). The story meanders, but Richard's folksy voice is winsome.
