Peterson, a crew member from a spaceship visiting Mars, purchases a giant, pig-like creature called a wub.

Cadmus Henry, mounted on one of the finest mares in Virginia and perfectly turned out from head to toe, dreams of charging intrepidly into battle under the orders of General Lee himself. Unfortunately, young Cadmus can write and is therefore assigned to a desk. But when an unexpected chance to volunteer for scout duty presents itself, Cadmus jumps at it. He learns too late that that, rather than riding into battle and proving himself a hero, he will be floating over enemy lines in a balloon. Despite his reservations, Cadmus sets out on what proves to be a fine adventure. With plenty of excitement and tender moments, Newbery Medal winner Walter D. Edmonds’ Cadmus Henry is a well-crafted tale for readers young and old. “Written with verve and insight, characterized by superior craftsmanship and sound historical knowledge, this story ranks among the best of the author’s works.”—New York Times

As David grew older, he fell into the same trap, until he and his father hit the road in search of their "morning after." "A memoir can be great for many reasons, but one quality matters more than all the others-brutal, uncomfortable honesty."-Chuck Klosterman
