Paperboy

Paperboy by Vince Vawter

I wasn't sure what to expect out of this book, but I have to tell you it was a delightful tale of a young boy who struggled with stuttering.  This book, based on the author's life was set in the late 1950's.  He takes over a paper route for a friend during the summer knowing that this will force him to speak with people as he collects money.  What he finds throughout the summer is that he is more capable than he thought and that the people in his neighborhood lead interesting lives.  What I like most about this book was the tale of Vince and his elderly neighbor, it make you realize that we all can learn from each other.
