Pee-Wee Harris Mayor for a Day

Pee-wee Harris, Mayor for a Day by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is about Pee Wee's attempt to build a new Boy Scout patrol while two young immigrants join the Boy Scouts. Pee Wee also goes on an adventure with a selfish young boy in the hopes of helping him learn the altruistic ways of the Scouts. "There were dark rumors about the Liventi brothers. How these rumors started, it would be impossible to say, but they have been traced back as far as little Irene McCormack who told Willie Corway that the parents of the Liventi brothers "acted in shows." On the strength of this information, Willie Corway took particular note of the Liventi boys when next he saw them on their way to school. Seeing nothing unusual about them, he reported to Irene that she "was lyin'." However, the rumor persisted, and the two boys who were newcomers in town were subjected to a kind of awesome surveillance in their immediate neighborhood."
