Paperboy by Vince Vawter


Summary: Victor Vollmer has a problem with stuttering. When he takes over a friend’s paper route for a month, Victor must overcome his reticence about speaking with people and in doing so, grows into himself. This Newbery Honor Winner, is set in Memphis in 1959.

My Review: A touching tale that is part fiction, part nonfiction, as it also tells the story of the author. Vince Vawter was a featured author at the 2019 YALSA Symposium. I am glad I got introduced to his writing and can’t wait to read the sequel!

Pages: 201 pages           My Rating: 4 out of 5
