From AudioFile:

What a treat, an anthology of short stories bursting with wacky but likable characters and bizarre situations. A kid brings a flyswatter to the table on the night his dads boss comes to dinner--the rest is just too revolting to reveal. A boy is grief-stricken when he thinks his dog killed his girlfriends beloved parakeet. No situation slows or stumps Stig Wemyss. He can meet Jenningss challenges of both extremely corny and achingly poignant tales. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
