This 3 volume set is book 2,3 and 4 in the series. The wild, funny, but sometimes touching escapades are told in a Tom-Sawyer-like style carrying the reader along on an emotional rollercoaster.

The series has garnered 21 five star reviews, and the new eBooks have individually been downloaded nearly 3000 times in the last 30 days.
These novels are about the life of a small town paperboy. In the summer, he is barefoot, sunburned, and shirtless. Up at five o'clock to deliver papers, home at six to feed the chickens and mules, and them off with his best friend to experience another life adventure.

There is something inherently charming about this innocent young boy, who always seems to find himself in trouble. He is not a perfect young man by any stretch of the imagination, but as he confronts life challenges and pratfalls, he will delight you and have you cheering him on. His complicated life gives you an insight into an era that is only a memory. It's a nostalgic read paced by newscaster Walter Winchell, who rattles out the news about the War. Radio shows, funny books, and picture shows are all part of this nostalgic trip back to 1944; a time when a young boy's entertainment was his imagination.
This novel is Southern Historical fiction set in 1945 during the Second World War. Previous novels of this series have been favorably compared to Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The 13 book series has garnered numerous five star Amazon reviews. The series is a nostalgic look at a time when families huddled by the radio, with young boys listening to The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet. Later the adults would tune in famous newscaster Walter Winchell; "Good evening Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea....this just in...General Patton's army continues to march across Germany..." The numerous Amazon Five Star Reviews have all been from adults, but the readers of these books have ranged from teens to senior adults. The series is truly a book for all ages. Several reviewers have called Richard Mason "Americas' New Mark Twain."
