The little township of Lockbarrel survives on the lemons that its citizens grow and sell. When a storm (or is it really a storm?) wrecks the crop everyone is in despair. Someone must go to the big city and find help. Cosmo Cooper's name is drawn from a hat. He sets of with $2.63 and no idea what to do.
This charming coming of age story follows the adventures of Cosmo Cooper and delightful cast of characters.
