Features: This is a semi-autobiographical novel written in a child's language, depicting the joyful and carefree, even slightly mischievous childhood life of a group of unruly children. The mischievous "Centipede Gang," led by their helpmate Tom Berry, spent those wonderful and carefree days of their lives. So, what kind of child was Tom Berry really? Or better yet, let's hear what the protagonist's original model, the author of this book, says: "I am a real, flesh-and-blood child, an ordinary child found everywhere in New England, with no resemblance to those unreal boys in storybooks, like oranges that have had all their juice sucked out."
