This book is about America. It tells about the small town of Rivermouth and the adventures of Thomas Belli and his friends - students of the "Temple of Grammar", who organize the "Rivermouth Centipede Society" and come up with various things. “Memoirs of an American Schoolboy” was translated into Russian many years ago. Aldrich's book was loved and read a lot by our grandparents. Now this book is being published again, and, undoubtedly, adults and children will read it with pleasure.
