The Charlatan's Boy

The Charlatan's Boy by Jonathan Rogers caught my interest right from the cover and continued to entrance me until I finally finished it! I loved it so much I finished the novel in a day! The Charlatan's Boy is about an orphan named Grady, who has been traveling around with a charlatan named Floyd who supports them by coming up with quick scams or sideshows, since as far back as he can remember. The problem is that Grady can't remember even the slightest detail of his childhood and doesn't know who he is or where he came from. The only answers to his past come from Floyd, who withholds most of what he knows from Grady.

These two struggle to make a living, made harder by the memory of better times when people from all the towns would flock to see Grady perform as “The Wild Man of Feechiefen Swamp.” But to their dismay, no one believes in " feechies" anymore. But not if Grady and Floyd can help it.

Together, these two extraordinarily colorful characters set out on the adventure of a lifetime and try to devise a plot to create another Great Feechie Scare which Floyd is convinced will make them rich again. Grady is more than enthusiastic about playing his part as a "feechie" once again, but he also can’t stop wondering after living a life full of unknowns, if he will ever know who he really is.
