Story0
Meet Penrod Schofield—eleven years old, endlessly curious, and a magnet for scrapes. Set in a Midwestern town at the turn of the twentieth century, Penrod follows a boy whose imagination routinely collides with adult rules: backyard “shows” that spiral into chaos, school pageants gone spectacularly wrong, neighborhood rivalries, and the fierce loyalty between a boy and his dog, Duke. Booth Tarkington’s classic is laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly tender, a snapshot of American childhood that still feels true.

Dive into the world of Alice Adams, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that vividly captures the struggles of a lower middle-class Midwestern family at the dawn of the 20th century as they strive to ascend the social ladder. At the center of this poignant tale is Alice, a determined young woman yearning for a better life and a place in society. As noted by Gerard Previn Meyer, Alice Adams transcends its role as a social history; it resonates with readers through its depiction of a lovable girl who, despite her flaws, captures our hearts.

Like most children, Penrod gets caught up in his own elaborate lies with hilarious results. His friends and his dog accompany him on his many jaunts, from the stage as "the Child Sir Lancelot", to the playground, to school. They make names for themselves as "bad boys" who, fittingly, always have the most fun. This humorous, thoughtful story is a wonderful example of the real-life characterization and attention to detail for which Tarkington is celebrated.
