"Well, you'd better run along, since they're waiting for you at home," said Mrs. Williams, closing the door. "Good-night, Penrod."

"Can't you EVER come home without being telephoned for?" demanded his father.

Great book! Very funny and entertaining. It's sorta like Huck Finn except all the adventure takes place near the house. Booth T has a rather dry and wry sense of humor, and I laughed out loud quite a bit. His descriptions of the characters' emotions and reactions are priceless!
The book started out fun, but it got less interesting and more skim-able as it went along. The interesting bits are reminiscent of Tom Sawyer or The Little Rascals. It was written in 1916 and reflects its time in terms of black/white relationships. I also knocked it down a star for how the boys trea
This was, in effect, a sequel to Penrod. This despite the fact that Penrod turned 12 at the end of the previous book and was "nearly 12" in this book. Whatever, it's the same cast of 11-year-old boys doing the kinds of inventive, and often naughty, things that 11-year-old boys do. Rather a fun read.
It was a fun read. Tarkington's writing is superior. The exploits of the boys were hilarious. He was so creative in describing each mess the boys create. Great vocabulary.

Loved this when I was young---read it many times.
