An amazing book, oh, I mean, an amazing book, as the sheriff of the city of Senterburg would say. Written in the forties in America, it was published in the USSR in the seventies and was very popular. And, I must admit, the incredible, mind-blowing adventures of Pomer Grice, oh, that is, Homer Price, are not outdated even now.

Homer is a smart guy. He lives in Ohio, two miles from the town of Centerberg, and loves to build radios, and in his free time from school he helps his parents with their car camping or works part-time at his Uncle Odysseus's donut shop. And everything would be quiet and calm if some crazy events, oh, that is, crazy events, didn’t constantly happen in Senterburg. Either Uncle Odysseus's donut machine will go crazy, then the skunk Aroma will catch four robbers who stole prize money and twelve bottles of hair cream, then a suspicious Rip van Winkel with a long beard will appear in the city... And somehow it turns out that only Homer succeeds unravel all these extremely confusing situations, so he doesn’t have to be bored!
