Set in the mountains of Tennessee, "the author spins out the story of Cody, triumphantly ten, who on his birthday boasts that he's a 'ring-tailed tooter' and can lick anything. In spite of the taunts of his sister Omalia, seven, Cody feels his oats, throwing his ten years of exuberance into a house-raising with his parents, Milt and Callie, Omalia, and the neighbors; into a bee tracing; a spooky, spoofing dream-adventure; a day with head tickling riddles; and a house warming."--Kirkus
