The Outside Boy

 Fiction by Jeanine Cummins

This story is set in 1959 Ireland and is about the Pavee, a race I'd never heard of. They are sort of Irish gypsies, although they are not related to the European Roma people, ones typically called "gypsy."

Anyways, the Pavee family in the story are travelers who live in wagons, and the main character is a 12-year-old boy called Christopher. I really enjoyed the story and the characters; this was a good book, although not as good as Ms. Cummin's more recent novel American Dirt. It's still well worth reading.

I also read recently by this author: The Crooked Branch
