Secret Sidewalk

By "Tom" "Lichtenberg"

Secret Sidewalk is a kind of '1001 Nights' as told by a boy to his younger brother in the hopes of getting him to sleep on one very hot night. Among the tales it contains is the legend of Beauregaard Sweet, who became invisible, but whose troubles began when he suddenly reappeared. Then everybody wanted something from him. Manny the mechanic wanted his wife. Would-be cult leader Sharad LeMaster wanted his secret. Nosy neighbor Emma Biggs wanted another shot at the TV news, and the Four Tribes wanted to send him back to wherever it was he’d gone, and all he wanted to do was eat donuts and watch reality TV.

Reviews for Secret Sidewalk

[dsdmd · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a strange story. It starts when a younger brother can't sleep and has the older brother take him to the secret sidewalk behind some bushes near the marina where they live with their mother. As I'm sure it is suppose to be, it is difficult to tell whether this is a real world in a fantasy story or a fantasy world imagined by the older brother to entertain the younger one. There are some interesting characters and stories in the secret world by the secret sidewalk. It was an entertaining story.
