Synopsis
Since he's the only child still living at home with his parents, Alfie has turned the attic into his private art studio. Everything changes when his older brother moves back home and takes over the attic. Will Alfie be able to think of a way to keep the room for himself?
Threatened with the loss of his private place in the attic of his crowded home, a young boy determines to keep it at all costs.

The Cartoonist by Betsy Byars
Hardcover (Viking Press 1978) – no dust jacket – ex-library with stampings and card pocket - outer covers have some wear and soil – top and bottom edges of spine are worn and spine is faded – a couple of small, light stains on front cover – otherwise book is in good condition.


Alfie lives with his mother, grandfather and sister. Alfie's only interest in life is to draw cartoons. He draws at night, at school and any other time he can manage to sneak away. In the evening, he climbs up to the attic and closes the world of his loud abusive obnoxious mother behind so he can draw and dream about a better life.
Betsy Byars does a wonderful job of realistically portraying a grim world with an alcoholic mother and grandfather who do nothing but argue and watch television.  You will root for Alfie as he tries to control his little world and keep it out of the hands of the irritating mother who fails to understand his artistic interests.

Take Advantage of my FABULOUS Shipping Discount!!

I offer a real bargain on multiple items shipping to U.S. destinations via media mail. It is based on weight instead of a charge for each additional book that a lot of other dealers use. (For example 1- 170 page paperback book will cost you $2.60 shipping via media mail. You can buy 2 more paperbacks of the same size and still pay only $2.60 for shipping!) You can buy more books for just a little additional shipping charge. So look around my store for any other books you may want and bid on or buy them now!
