Shouldn't have finished this in public 😭😭 Cousins Woodrow and Gypsy spend a tumultuous year getting to know one another better after Belle, Woodrow's mother, goes missing. Gypsy faces her demons and they both learn that parents don't always know how to cope with life's misdealings.
Working on this for #AppalachianNoir for #Booked2021. My reluctant reader 12 year old has been telling me about it over the last few months as they read it in school. He absolutely loved it and I'll read ANYTHING to help him think reading is fun! We agreed to discuss our favorite parts when I'm done. 😁
so-soWhen Woodrow‘s mother disappears, he goes to live with his grandparents, where he gets to know his cousin Gypsy. They bond over stories and loss, and it‘s a decent story.

pickOne of my favorite books from childhood. Can‘t remember much about it though. I had to buy it again because my parents donated all my books to the library about a decade ago. Boo.
