The Short Happy Life of Davey Monroe is set up like a series of charming short stories depicting scenes from a boy's childhood. Each one had some element that had me snickering at the innocent little point of view or flat out laughing at the perceived point of view of his parents, Aunt Ruth, Old Man Barkley, and other adult characters in the town of Green Valley. The book provided a sense of peace and calm and, as the title suggests, happiness.

For folks wanting to recapture a feeling of an easier time, for folks who love Ralphie in A Christmas Story, for folks who enjoyed Tom Sawyer, for folks who like spending a long afternoon chuckling at a child's antics, The Short Happy Life of Davey Monroe is the ideal set of 33 adventures.

From Fantasy Author, Sandy Lender

Davey Monroe takes the reader to a time filled with uncertainty and the ever turning wheel of change, all while being told through the innocent eyes of a child. This story will have you cheering along with Davey as he triumphs, eyes filling with tears as the lessons in life that are presented often leave scars and laughing out loud the next minute at Davey's outrageousness! A must buy for any collection, one that you will cherish not only the first time you read it, but for years to come.
