Gee by D L Davies (Hardcover)

A young boy, looking for something to eat; lacking that, something to sell for food. In the process he helps foil a crime; gets himself embroiled in numerous adventures; loses a Father, Sister, and Mother to cannibals (but not all at once), and before the book ends, manages to kill those who killed his family; while creating a varied family of his own. The story ends by explaining the beginning.
