Clem's Chances

(2) 4-6 Young Clem resembles his hero, Oliver Twist, a lot more than he'd care to admit. Starving, and with little hope of making his farm productive, Clem goes to live with a no-account family who severely exploit him. He strikes out on his own, making an episodic westward journey. His numerous adventures, recounted in Clem's honest and humorous voice, blend comfortably with the occasional history lesson and move the plot along at a fast clip.
