Ignoringthe taunts of other boys in his neighborhood, he dreams of riding faraway from them, out of the city and across the desert, toward the heartof Africa. But first he wants to show his new prize to his friend Aldo.
Inthe tradition of such memorable characters as Huckleberry Finn andHolden Caulfield, Amos Oz’s Soumchi is fresh, funny, and alwaysengaging.
