Book is about Spenser as a boy. Who wouldn't like it??? If you are a fan of Robert B. Parker, that is.
Don't quite understand the reason for writing this one--reminds me of Tom Sawyer
This is both a YA novel and a Spenser novel. It shines a bit of light on Spenser's past.
VERY fast read -- it's one of those books that has HUGE print, very wide margins and is practically double spaced. It could have easily been incorporated into one of the Spenser novels, rather than a stand-alone book.
However, enjoyable (if short) story. Sort of 'Spenser-lite.'

This, on the cover says it's a young Spencer novel, which let me to believe it was the backstory for the character I have read about so many times. What it means is yes, it is about Spencer when he was young, but it is a young adult (teen) novel. I have reviewed Spencer books before when the relationship between Spencer and Hawk became too much of a Bromance, this one has it in spades, with Susan, they are going to dislocate an elbow patting each other on the back. It got old quick, but it's only a two hour read. Too many good Parker novels out there to read this one.
