A fatherless ten-year-old boy comes of age in a Depression-era, southern farming community in this charming and humorous debut novel.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year

“Rich and satisfying . . . A novel that perfectly captures the innocence and confusion and wonder of childhood.” -- Chicago Tribune

Hailed as one of those rare works with the power to enchant readers of all ages, this luminous novel tells the story of a boy growing up in a small North Carolina town during the Great Depression -- at a time when America itself was young and struggling to come into its own.

“Rich, knowing, pitch-perfect. . . . A swift, lovely book.” -- The New York Times

“A dazzling first novel. . . . The apparent casualness of the plot masks extraordinary craft.” -- Newsweek

A graceful, poignant story of a fatherless farm boy . . . Jim the Boy is the perfect antidote for the Virtual Age. It's subtle. It's stripped down. It's set close to the earth. . . . It's also daring and, often, laugh-out-loud funny.” -- Austin American-Statesman
