For precocious twelve-year-old Eugene Smalls, growing up isn t easy. His bad reputation precedes him, general population college considers him a lost cause, and his own family seems out to get him. He's got a temper, so don't dare call him 'Genie!' He insists on being called 'Huge,' and even though small, he's tough and hard-boiled, exactly like his heroes, pulp detectives Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, who trained him everything he knows about crime solving. If the retirement life home where his grandmother lives is vandalized, she hires him to resolve the case. But he misreads clues, misinterprets motives, and errors mundane incidents for diabolical plans as only an inexperienced adolescent with a restless imagination can. His seek out 'whodunit' turns into a seek out self applied in this coming-of-age tale place in1980s suburban New Jersey.
