From the book:
Homer's father owns a tourist camp. Homer's mother cooks fried chicken and hamburgers in the lunchroom and takes care of the tourist cabins while his father takes care of the filling station. Homer does odd jobs about the place. Sometimes he washes windshields of cars to help his father, and sometimes he sweeps out cabins or takes care of the lunchroom to help his mother.
When Homer isn't going to school, or doing odd jobs, or playing with other boys, he works on his hobby, which is building radios. He has a workshop in one corner of his room, where he works in the evenings. Follow Homer through many humorous adventures.
