Stumped Kept Me Stumped Until The End.

I bought this book about 3 weeks ago. I was looking for a relaxing and fun book - I was not disappointed. "Stumped" is a well told story that old and young will enjoy. No profanity, just a refreshing tale that revived many memories of a now, far distant youth. The characters are nicely introduced and developed, so that by the end, they have become friends to the reader. Thanks for the motivation, I'm now digging out a stump in my front yard.

"A riveting coming-of-age novel that sheds light on the trials and tribulations of being the "new kid" in a small, southern town. The author expertly captures the perspective of a quirky and endearing teenager learning to navigate school, friends, and family."
