The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg

(2) 4-6 In Pine Swamp, Maine, in the 1860s, Homer P. Figg and his brother Harold live with Squinton Leach--the meanest man around. When Squint illegally enlists Harold in the Union Army against his will, Homer decides to follow. Homer's facile narration, and a little laying waste of the truth, move the plot quickly and create a captivating read.
