Dave Mitchell is fourteen and growing up in the midst of the variety and excitement of New York City. In this quiet, reflective, and humorous story of a boy's journey toward adulthood, Emily Neville captures the flavor of one kind of New York boyhood -- the sights and sounds of Gramercy Park, Coney Island, the Fulton Fish Market, the Bronx Zoo, the stickball games played in city streets, the fascinating mixture of nationalities and eccentrics that give the huge metropolis so much of its flavor and excitement. But most of all the author tells a realistic tale of Dave's affection for a stray tomcat, his comradeship with a troubled nineteen-year-old boy, his first shy friendship with a girl, and his growing understanding of his father as a human being and not just a parent.Emil Weiss's lively drawings capture the mood and setting of the story to perfection.

The author is good at reflecting some positive changes in friendship and even kinship from a teenager's perspective. Beginning with reading it, you hardly feel it intriguing but still enjoy its American humorious spots. After awhile, you can unconsciously dive in the vivid story.
