![]() ![]() "That's Jim, all breathless and itchweed.Īnd Will? Why, he's the last peach, high on a summer tree."Ī week before Halloween, when the boys are already excited enough with their birthdays and Trick or Treat just around the corner, a travelling carnival pulls into town. But they're also as different as chalk and cheese, as Will's dad knows: ![]() The two boys are also united by being born only minutes apart on either side of midnight from 30 October to Halloween. If there's a place two lads in small-town America would want to explore, you can bet Will and Jim will have been there. They go everywhere together, including shinning down a makeshift ladder in the middle of the night to explore the graveyard, the lake, the rail tracks. They're lifelong best buds who grew up next door from each other. Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade are turning fourteen. If you enjoyed Dandelion Wine, then you'll enjoy a return visit. We're back in Green Town, Illinois again. ![]()
