Music of the Swamp [Paperback]

In his first book with Algonquin, published in 1991, Nordan focused his magic and imagination on a boys utterly helpless love for his utterly hopeless father. For Sugar Mecklin, growing up in the Delta town of Arrow Catcher, Mississippi (the setting for many of Nordans books), everything happens the summers when he turns ten, eleven, and twelve, around the same time his daddy tells him that the Delta is filled up with death. Sugar discovers that what his daddy says is true, but he also discovers singing mice in his mattress, hears Elvis on the Philco, and dreams of mermaids rising from the lake. And he discovers an endless supply of hope.?
