![]() On the reread, I discovered what an absolute joy this book is. Luckily, Homer's got plenty of both.Ĭonfession: I read this book when it first came out and I didn't know what the heck I was doing because I kinda set it aside as "not my kind of book" and didn't really think about it again. Still, it'll take pluck and a quick tongue to help an Underground Railroad conductor, join a traveling medicine show as the Amazing Pig Boy, take to the sky in a hot air balloon, and save his brother by trying to kill him. Homer has no idea of the dangers he'll face, but he figures he owes it to the brother who took care of him for so many years. ![]() When Homer Figg's dear older brother is sold into the Union army against his will, Homer sets off to bring him home.
