I think I'm done with Nicole Krauss. This is my second foray into her fiction, and though her prose is peppered with beauty and poetry, the plot and narration is so affected that no amount of artistry in language can overcome the eye rolling that accompanies her stilted and clunky plot and character arcs.

Huey is an adorable African American boy who uses his imagination to get the best out of his young life. His parents have clear rules, and Huey is learning to be a conscientious young man, but one who knows how to smile and have fun.

The chapters are a little long for the younger age set, but overall, Huey is a great character for young children.a
