I’m late to this game – I stumbled across this book a few months ago, purchased it, and just today – 22 April 2026 – finished reading it. Actually, it didn’t take me a few months to read . . . I read it over the course of the last 3 days.
Here’s the archived BHO post:

The book is really a gem. Cary Fagan has built two main characters – and a host of others who play walk on roles – and all of them have been blessed with real, palpable personalities by the author. He has great command over the sort of conversation the two young friends might have.
That’s just part of the charm.
There’s a lot of banjo in this book – I’d say the banjo the young lad decides to build is just as much a character in the story as the boy.
Sorry to be so late to this, but I felt I ought to reach out, commend the author for a job well done, and urge other BHO citizens to grab a copy of this book – I got mine on AMAZON.COM:
amazon.com/s?k=cary+fagan&crid...EHSE1KK3O
I’m gonna try a bunch of Cary’s other books –he has a great touch as a writer.
