Greetings!  I need help with a chapter book about a city boy who goes to 
live with a rural family, possibly in the Ozarks, the Appalachians, or 
in the South, sometime between the late 1920s and the early 1940s. (The 
client probably read the book between the late 1950s through the 
mid-1960s.) The main character experiences 'coon hunting for the first 
time, as well as learning how tobacco is cured. The focus of the story 
was on the contrast between city life and a rural way of living.

Any ideas? Let me know, and TIA.
