Two days in the life of a boy called Te-pet

Welcome to the Acadian village of Chezzetcook where anything can go wrong at any time, especially when a boy like Te-Pet is one of the villagers. The nine-year-old boy has a reputation for fighting, stealing, and telling tales, and he starts the school year off by breaking all the windows of the school. People are outraged by his actions and much talk ensues. What are the villagers to do? What will the Catholic priest, Father O'Neil, do? No one is sure, but something must be done to stop a boy who is out of control and might destroy the church and make Chezzetcook the laughingstock of the province.
