The stories, both tough and tender, will remind you of the moments in your own life that shaped your memories and taught you the enduring lessons you learned outside the classroom.
"Similar in style to John Steinbeck....leaves you smiling!" S. Harrold
"In Bennett's novel, a young boy from the shores of Long Island struggles with family tragedy, first love and even the supernatural....adventures that help him grow up fast, whether he likes it or not. Stories with genuine heart...a blend of the humorous and the sentimental, the devastating and the hopeful. Bennett's eagerness and sincerity shine through, giving some of the stories impressive power."~KIRKUS REVIEWS"I usually have a problem with short stories: when I read one I find it all too easy to put the book down and not return.

The Crabber worked his magic in these eight beautifully written stories." ~Sue Magee, The Bookbag, UK
