This book is written about rural life, showing honesty, character, compassion, values, and exploits of a young boy and his pet goat. Fun with Gordy and mischievous Jack, his best friend, will entertain the reader.

The author introduces the reader to the Norse mythology of the Thunder God Thor and then weaves the goat's cart in with the chariots. The reader will also know about the harvesting of crops, pea pods, and efforts to sell farm products at the farmer's market. A glimpse into a depression-era family and a fine pair of troublemakers.
