Claude Lightfoot, or How the Problem Was Solved

Francis J. Finn, S.J.

At Milwaukee College, a Catholic school where most boys are focused on baseball and academics, twelve-year-old Claude Lightfoot arrives and shakes things up. While his talent for baseball shines, Claude struggles to fit in, often clashing with a bully and testing the patience of his teacher with his hyperactive antics. The central challenge he faces is whether he can learn to harness his energy and mature into a responsible young man. As Claude navigates a series of trials and tribulations, he remains steadfast in his ultimate goal to prove himself worthy of making his first Holy Communion. Join Claude on his journey of self-discovery and growth.
