Bowfoot Peter, The Picanee Boy, growing up in the fabled City Of Gold is living proof that God has a healthy sense of humor. Whether it is through impetuous innocence in the heady Black Marabunta, the joyous naivete in Grease Bag, braving whispering cane fields down dusty Mocha Road, the baldfaced wickedness of Quack-Quack, or the brutality of Kidnapped, DeAngelou nudges us into a fascinating world that is as new and different as it is familiar and intriguing. As the Picanee Boy learns and as we journey boldly through this gold mine gathering nuggets, we begin to laugh at our own frailties. We are strengthened, enriched and revitalized. Bowfoot Peter The Picanee Boy (A Quick Read SERIES) Volume One (Sticks & Stones) comprises the first five Quick Read True Story Books of the series.
