Fifteen-year-old Meely LaBauve is growing up on Catahoula Bayou and living by his wits. Not since Huck Finn rafted down the Mississippi has there been a coming-of-age story like this, told in such an utterly authentic unlettered American voice. From a charming encounter with first love in the Canciennes' corn patch to an adventurous paddle through wild and timeless places little explored, Ken Wells has cooked up a zesty gumbo of a book—rich, poignant, and often hilarious. * An American Library Association YALSA best book of the year

Meely LaBauve
With his daddy usually off gator hunting, or else drinking and hell raising, 15-year-old Meely LaBauve is pretty much left to fend for himself. He does a pretty fair job of it, too, going to school when the notion takes him, and feeding himself off the fruit of the swamps. But when a run-in with a gang of rough boys at school lands Meely and his daddy in trouble with the law, Meely's free-wheeling existence is put on the line. It's a good thing Meely is such a good hearted, charming young man with friends in high and low places.
I really enjoyed this wild, Cajun-flavored story with such a quirky, likable character at its heart. It's a page turner for sure!
