The Old Neighborhood introduces a group of 8- to 12-year-old boys growing up in the 1950’s. Their leader is Oliver, better known as “The Big O,” who is large not only in size, but in loudness of mouth. The boys are Eddie, Jimmy, Skinny, Phil, Harold, and Ernie. Another boy, technically not a member, is the mysterious John Allen. Although young in years, his wisdom is recognized by the children and their parents. Rumors of his mystic powers circulate through the neighborhoods as he “must be about my father’s business.” Through the six stories, the reader learns lessons in sharing (“The Street Fair”); helping one’s neighbor (“The Court”); dealing with dangerous challenges (“Running the Bridges”); getting along with the elderly (“The Letter”); overcoming one’s inner fears (“Ernie’s Streetcar Adventure”); and learning not to disobey a parent’s instructions (“The Big O: Discus Thrower”).
