The Boy From Granite Falls: Based Upon the Life and Adventures of Young Fred Ballard

It is the 1930âs in the mountain area east of a small town called Granite Falls in Washington. Fred Ballard is an amiable, witty teenager whose daring nature and ingenuity often land him in the midst of legendary adventures.
