Spring has arrived, and Martin OBoy has finally found a true home with Grampa Rip and a job at the Pure Spring soft drink company, though he lied about his age to get it. However, not everything is perfect. Martin feels bad about lying to kindly Mr. Mirsky, Pure Spring’s owner, and sometimes Grampa Rips brain goes very far away. There’s the mysterious yet familiar man in the park. There are Martins memories. Igor Gouzenko, the famous Soviet defector, has unexpectedly reappeared. And Martin learns that his very peculiar, dirty-mouthed workmate and boss, Randy, is a blackmailing crook. When Martin falls in love with the beautiful Gerty Mc Dowell, whose old grandfather is being robbed by Randy with Martin forced to act as an accomplice Martins happiness, his sense of duty, and his love for Gerty collide. It won’t be easy, but he has to find a way through all of it and preserve the joy of spring. This sequel to Boy OBoy is Brian Doyle at his brilliant best, deftly blending deeply serious, even tragic moments with great humor and pathos.
