The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis

(2) 4-6 Popeye lives with his grandmother and good-for-nothing uncle in Fayette, South Carolina. There's nothing to do and nobody to do it with--until bad-boy Elvis Jewell comes to town and suggests, "Let's have a small adventure." Popeye, convinced that excitement lies just around the corner, agrees. Never overdoing the colloquial expressions, O'Connor captures South Carolina speech patterns in her quietly paced, slice-of-life narrative.
