It's a short story, but one that you will devour and want more of the same. It is set in the not too distant future and revolves around a boy named Sam. Sam lives in a third world type of community, the "have nots" if you will, in a giant dump complex. People there scrounge through the trash that is dumped there from the other side of the fence where the wealthy "Haves" live. They exist by selling items they find to others and gathering food for themselves. One day Sam finds a book, which is unheard of in this time except in rare cases. He is determined to learn how to read it and begins a search for someone still living that can teach him. This search brings him ultimately to Old Man David. I will leave you to the rest of the story because I hate to be a spoiler. Suffice it to say that if you are fast becoming a Thomas Norwood fan, you will have to get this story ASAP. If you have not read anything by Mr Norwood yet, give yourself an Early Christmas gift and get this book or "The Perfectible Animals". You will be glad you did. Kudos Tom. Keep up the fantastic work.
