"Sequil"; Or, Things Whitch Aint Finished in the First

"Sequil; Or Things Whitch Aint Finished in the First" by Henry A. Shute is a story told like a diary about a kid in 1800's New England. The main young character goes through everyday life with adventures and problems with friends and family. At the start, he shares how nervous he feels when his dad reads his diary at supper. The story tells of fun times with friends, dealing with people he doesn't like, and getting into the usual kid stuff. The book is funny and shows how innocent kids are as he has little fights, worries about school, and deals with friends. The writing paints a good picture of living in the country as the boy matures.
