Harlan Banks, 14 almost 15, is a child of the Great Depression is set in rural North Alabama. In a generation of short people, Harlan is tall. At five foot ten inches, he is destined to be taller someday if he survives being a curious teenager.
Harlan calls himself slender, leaning toward skinny. His hair is the color of old corn stalks just beginning to turn golden brown in the hot southern sun. His hair is shaggy most of the time, worn long and is always looking as if it’s trying to escape. He has eyes the color of a Robin’s egg, which is weird because his brother and Dad and Mother have brown eyes.
In the spring of 1939 no one had heard of a thing called television and they were too poor to have a radio, so he read. When a library book entices him to learn more about the outlaw Jesse James, Harlan becomes embroiled in a mystery that threatens his very survival.
