Om denne e-bog

This 1982 novel is the story of Bo Stubbs, about to launch a new life as the privileged stepson of a very rich man--but first he has to survive a month with his father, an itinerant camel-keeper who entertains at shopping malls and conventions around the country. T-Backs, T-Shirts, COAT, and Suit: First published in 1993, this is another story of a kid doing time in an unfamiliar, unconventional environment--in this case, Chloe is spending the summer with her aunt Bernadette, who drives a food service wagon in Florida.
