Sure, a murder is big news, but what would really interest him? A paying job. Then he meets Rat, who?s already been to Vietnam. And when he offers Todd a gig at the drive-in theater, Todd takes it. But hanging out with Rat leads to a host of perplexing questions. More and more, that corpse from the river is on Todd?s mind, and no matter how he shifts the pieces around, Rat is always part of the puzzle.“Realistically and sensitively written as Todd’s own manuscript, this entertaining and thoughtful account is an absorbing snapshot of early 1970s life, as well as fast-paced coming-of-age fare that should appeal to young male readers.”\u003cb\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTedd Arnold\u003c\/b\u003e  is the author of such children's classics as  \u003ci\u003eNo Jumping on the Bed!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNo More Water in the Tub!\u003c\/i\u003e He has published more than 50 books as author and illustrator.
