Henry James 
Pupil 

The Moreen family is a loathsome crew of greedy, dishonorable, self-serving twits — with the notable exception of one brilliant, earnest eleven-year-old son, Morgan. When the Moreens secure the services of a young tutor, Pemberton, to guide Morgan’s studies (with no intention of ever paying him, of course), the two develop a deep and lasting friendship. Will Pemberton be able to save Morgan from the influence of his family before it’s too late?
