For Highpockets

Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl's latest summer reading recommendations include a book that a friend of mine has long raved about. The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread is finally available again. First printed in 1965, TGTSSB tells the story of nine-year-old Morris Bird III and his hike home across Cleveland. You can even read an excerpt here.

No word yet on when (or if) Robertson's other books will be reprinted any time soon.--David E

Yay! Don’t wait to get on an airplane to read this book! If you have a front porch it’s a perfect front porch book. Do you have a couch? It’s a perfect couch book. Take this book anywhere you can read a book and it’s perfect. Am I raving? The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread is just that. If you have ever made a sandwich without sliced bread you know what I’m talking about.
Thanks David!
