Description
Ten-year-old Jimmy Joplin, an active and clever only child, is loved by his tolerant middle-aged parents, Jack and Jen Joplin. Now it's May 1956, and school has just let out for the summer in the tiny farming town of Jigger, Texas, when Jimmy's caught trespassing on a freshly painted white rail fence belonging to the crusty retired Judge Albert Ebenezer Pike. After the youngster is severely reprimanded, he returns home and receives a lecture from his father.
