Huge

Synopsis

For precocious twelveyearold Eugene Smalls, growing up isnt easy. His bad reputation precedes him, public school considers him a lost cause, and his own family seems out to get him. He insists on being called Huge, and though small, hes tough, just like his heroes, pulp detectives Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade. When his grandmother hires him to solve a case of vandalism, he misreads clues, misinterprets motives, and mistakes mundane incidents for diabolical schemes as only an inexperienced adolescent with a restless imagination can.
