Penrod (Unabridged) Booth Tarkington
Meet Penrod Schofield—eleven years old, endlessly curious, and a magnet for scrapes. Set in a Midwestern town at the turn of the twentieth century, Penrod follows a boy whose imagination routinely collides with adult rules: backyard “shows” that spiral into chaos, school pageants gone spectacularly wrong, neighborhood rivalries, and the fierce loyalty between a boy and his dog, Duke. Booth Tarkington’s classic is laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly tender, a snapshot of American childhood that still feels true.

Perfect for fans of Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer and listeners who enjoy nostalgic, character-driven humor, Penrod celebrates the mischief, wonder, and heart of growing up.
