From the back cover: "When Belle Prater disappears, Belle's boy, Woodrow, comes to live with his grandparents in Coal Station, Virginia. Woodrow's cousin Gypsy lives next door and is as curious as the rest of the town about Belles' disappearance. Woodrow is cross-eyed and wears hand-me-downs, but Gypsy is impressed by his charm and his witty stories. The cousins find they have a lot in common, and they become best friends during their sixth-grade year.
Gypsy is the town beauty, but she has hidden sorrows of her own. She wonders how Woodrow can accept his mother's disappearance, when she's never gotten over her father's death. Then Woodrow tells Gypsy the secret about his mother."
I really liked this book! I get so lucky at the school's book fairs:) I give it a PG rating and 4 stars. I love how this book teaches how to cope with tough situations by using pure grit and humor!

I am not a member but I check this blog often. I have a suggestion for you all. It would help to place books under labes like Romance, fantacy, mystery, book of the month etc... this way people like me, who love a specific catagory can see all the post for such. It is easy to set up a label, when you make a post on the bottom of the post page is has a place that says "Labels for this post" and then display all the labels on the right hand column. Just a sugestion!
