What Members Thought
Coming of age for Edward Massey a 12 year-old black boy grew up in North Philly, and spent their summers in Rehoboth Delaware in the early 60s. Eddie loves Agatha Christie stories, particularly ones that feature Hercule Poirot. Eddie has mystery to solve in Rehoboth, someone killed his turtle, and he suspects his Uncle did it.
The story is more than a mystery. Eddie learns what it means to grow up being black in America.
Great story, I recommend it.
