I really enjoyed this novel. It has all the atmosphere of the south combined with a likeable character. Sixteen-year-old Victor runs away from his abusive father and has some great adventures during World War II off the coast and in the swamps of Alabama. He encounters German spies and a German submarine.

I don't want to spoil the novel and say anymore, except that I loved the down-home characters, especially Victor's grandmother.

I loved the whole watery world of Mobile Bay, and so did my nephew, 14 years younger than I. I think this is one of the most accomplished, poetic adventure novels I've ever read. Victor and his buddy Butch are unforgettable. Definitely one of this author's best.

V for Victor was the second book I read by Mark Childress and I wasn't disappointed. Being from Alabama, I could definately relate to this 16-year old boy and his need for adventure. From the first moment to the last, I was enthralled by this book and the eye-popping adventures Victor experienced. Shouldn't everyone have a summer like this?
