Look at "The Second Theft". How about a story of a stubborn oil property owner on Signal Hill, "Chester C, Coffinmaker". "An Epitaph for Hoo-Hah Bustass" is the tale of a rattlesnake attack carved on a hickory tool handle. How a boy solves a murder is the subject of "Death on Wagstaff Road", while "No Time to Blink" is a cat's plea for a new home. "Tears for Sparky" begins with a boy who steals a bus to get to school. Then there's the secret behind the twenty second extravaganza fireworks show, "The 5th of July".
