Stumped
A Real Book, Property of Walter Stypes

Woody believed the tree was haunted. Walter wasn’t sure.He was new to the small town and so far nothing seemed real.Not his parents delusional decision to buy a historic house that needed to be fully restored.Not the town bully’s determination to single Walter out.Not the most beautiful girl being assigned the desk in front of him in English class.And most of all, not his father’s unfair punishment to dig up an old stump in the back yard. An assignment that would lead Walter on a quest to unravel an old town legend and to find real friends, real courage, and a real home.Stumped is a timeless story set in rural Alabama.
