« Smultringene » Robert McCloskey

book

Homer lives in Centerburg, Ohio. He is a mild–mannered boy who enjoys fixing radios, and who somehow gets involved in a series of outrageous incidents, such as tending an inexplicably unstoppable doughnut–making machine in his uncle’s diner, or caring for mystery plants that turn out to be a giant form of allergy–inducing ragweed.

He does odd jobs like raking leaves, and sweeping up the diner or the nearby barber shop.

Sometimes he is also hired by his uncle to tend to the labor–saving devices in his cafe and mix doughnut batter. His main job is helping out in his father’s business, a motor court, where Homer also resides.
