Bluffton: My Summers with Buster by Matt Phelan

4.0

Bluffton is a Muskegon neighborhood nestled between Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake, that at one point in its history held an artists' colony for Vaudevillians to spend their summers. That included the Keatons. Buster Keaton was just a boy but one full of mischief and baseball. This GN told from the perspective of the fictional boy Henry and tells of the summer days he spends with Buster playing ball and pranks all around Bluffton. The story touches on concerns over Buster working/child labor, his father's alcohol use, and his lack of any formal education. A tale well told and for me, a great local connection.
