Summary
In 1954, there were three major newspapers printed daily in Pittsburgh, all with vast subscriptions. Hundreds of adolescent boys and girls delivered them throughout the day. Marty Rinehart had just turned 12 when Mark, a neighbor and his older sister’s unofficial boyfriend, handed down his Post-Gazette evening route to him. It was also the year that a well-liked teacher in his seventh grade inspired her class to write. Marty asked his mom to buy him a large blue notebook and began, many nights after bedtime under the covers with a flashlight, to journal his first year as a carrier.
Jump on your own bicycle and ride along with Marty on this unsophisticated, sometimes funny, sometimes scary and conflicted, emerging and emotional awakening into maturity.

10 star listen.
This is a brilliant story of life and the innocence of children. Marti is a loveable 12 year old who takes over his sisters boyfriends paper round, along the route of his round he meets many people and animals, one person in particular is a black boy his own age and Marti befriends him, seeing the little boy not the colour of his skin. Brilliantly written and developed. Would give 10 stars if they were available. Eddie Zapata's narration was absolutely spot on. A real winner of a book IMPO.
