A boy named Carl grows up on a Minnesota farm, chasing the wild promise of America and his own true calling.
In this vivid slice of Sinclair Lewis’s early fiction, a Norwegian-American family and a quiet prairie town frame a boy’s first year of bold questions. Carl’s restless nature and lively imagination push against the limits of his world, from the woodshed to the shore of Joralemon Lake, as he discovers where heritage and heart can lead a young dreamer.
The book blends a studious portrait of immigrant roots with a wide-eyed sense of possibility. It captures the humor, danger, and daily life of a tall-tale world where the land shapes a boy who will seek new horizons for himself and, perhaps, for his country.
Ideal for readers who enjoy classic American fiction that blends humor, family life, and a big sense of possibility.
