CAPTAIN PETE

by Bessie Holland Heck ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 19, 1967

Sometimes you have to bend with the wind to keep from being broken""... so Pete will go back to sixth grade and try to make good, after a summer of desultory adventures aboard his father's Mississippi tour boat. In the major event Pete and the brainy but cowardly Jim Bob search for buried treasure and save the life of an old recluse who turns out to be worth more than their imaginary gold--he gives them a hundred dollars out of his little tin box. Awkwardly regional dialogue too.
