The Trouble Begins at 8: A Life of Mark Twain in the Wild, Wild West THE TROUBLE BEGINS AT 8: A LIFE OF MARK TWAIN IN THE WILD, WILD WEST
by Sid Fleischman
Greenwillow;ISBN: 9780061344312;$18.99;2008


Photos and cartoons enhance this lively account of Sam Clemens' early life in the Wild West. Fleishman's lively writing is worthy of his subject: author, lecturer, prospector, journalist and yes, occasionally, scallywag.
