Full Synopsis
An "enormously entertaining" portrait of "a Bronx Tom Sawyer" (San Francisco Chronicle), City Boy is a sharp and moving novel of boyhood from Pulitzer Prize winner Herman Wouk.

A hilarious and often touching tale of an urban kid's adventures and misadventures on the street, in school, in the countryside, always in pursuit of Lucille, a heartless redhead personifying all the girls who torment and fascinate pubescent lads of eleven.

"Deftly filling out the large cast of eccentric characters with broad accents and humorous vocal tics, Berkrot keeps listeners wondering what Herbie's next adventure will be." ---AudioFile
