Description: "It's 1937 in Mimosa, Mississippi, and fourteen-year-old Max Brinkmann is an active, happy kid in the lively railroad town: he and his buddies keep their eyes on the cute girls at school, he and his little brothers make and fly kites, and he dreams of running track and playing baseball at Mimosa High School. But when Max's father, Josef (a devout Roman Catholic), announces that the small Catholic school in Mimosa is closing, Max's world is turned upside down. Not only is Josef moving the family to a farm in the middle of nowhere. The only option for a Catholic education is enrollment at nearby St. Agnes Academy. An all-girls school."--Taken from front flap of book cover.
