Set in Nazi Germany, a boy with a magic scream capable of shattering all the windows for a full city block decides that he wants to stop growing, and throws himself down a flight of stairs. His height stays at three feet throughout his adulthood as he has many adventures including becoming the leader of a gang of criminals, performing in a traveling circus, and engraving tomb stones.
First Sentence:
“Granted: I am an inmate of a mental hospital; my keeper is watching me, he never lets me out of his sight; there's a peep-hole in the door, and my keeper's eye is the shade of brown that can never see through a blue-eyed type like me.”
