Description
In 1892, nine-year-old Dom’s mother puts him on a ship leaving Italy, bound for The us. He’s a stowaway, traveling on my own and with nothing of value apart from for a new pair of trainers from his mother. Within the turbulent world of homeless children in Manhattan’s Five Points, Dom learns street smarts, and not only survives, but thrives by starting his own business. A vivid, fascinating story of a pretty good boy, based totally in part at the creator’s grandfather.
