"This is a wonderful nonfiction book about a young boy growing up during the Depression on an Illinois farm. The author paints vivid pictures in your head of what it was like to use an outhouse, milk the cows and work the cornfields with 'real horse power.' The book is a delight to read for it recalls the youthful energy that we can all remember. I laughed out loud many times during the book, thinking 'there is no way that could happen in today's society.' I was often reminded of the adventures of Huck Finn on the Mississippi but instead it was that adventures Alvin Decker on an Illinois farmstead."
