Wildly imaginative and surprisingly insightful six-year old narrator Billy Wright buzzes with energy and enthusiasm. When he runs out into a busy street and receives a public spanking from his irate father, a concerned bystander calls social services—and a split-second decision escalates into disaster. A tragic yet comedic look at what is truly understood between a parent and a child.
What I did, Christopher Wakling, $22.
