Newbery Honor Book
Joey recalls his week-long visits in the summer with his sister, Mary Alice, at their grandmother's. Each chapter is dedicated to a different year. As the week in August arrives, they never know what adventures await them . . .a corpse that "awakens", pie contests, hiding a girl from her abusive mother, running fish traps and much more.
The last chapter was especially sweet.
-Humorous and entertaining
Warnings: sheriff and his men are drunk; cheating, lying
-Borrowed from the library.
