Nelle Lee is astonished by the arrival of her old friend, Truman Capote. He has, she learns, run away from military school. A whole series of adventures ensue, including Truman and his two elderly cousins surviving a fire in their home and Nelle and Truman managing to anger the town bully.

It's based on true stories and it's not.

It's a children's story and it's not.

If you love Harper Lee and Truman Capote, you will enjoy this little book, whether every story is true or not and whether you are a child or not.
