August Hall.
Antonio and a group of friends put on an outdoor play in hopes of luring their reclusive neighbor, a former actor, to see the show. The scenes in which the kids develop and perform their play are delightful. The novel's latter half is somewhat darker in tone, though no less entertaining.
