But when Gram has to have surgery for "female trouble" in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate -- bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical -- is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can't seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate decides to pack him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But to Donal's surprise, he's not traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way. 650 0 $a Boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Uncles $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Travelers $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Boys. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837358 650 7 $a Travelers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155691 650 7 $a Uncles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01160857 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Road fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 6 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20191031023226.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20190711012355.0 952 $l VQPC384 $d 20190213101428.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180907023808.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20180907020329.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180704040044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14CC14BC482211E79202AAAADAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
