Ramblin' Rose: The Porcelain Mines in Russia | John E. Carson, Marlene R. Carson
"Oh Grandpa!" Six-year-old Rose said as she listened to another of his wild tales. "Why, Rose, you don't believe me?" Grandpa looked hurt. "Remember, there is always some truth to every story. It's up to you to find it." Now twelve and the editor of her school newsletter, Rose never forgot his stories. A tug of war with her dog, Samson The Great, and a collision with her mother's china cabinet send her on a quest to replace a rare, porcelain plate. From New York, to Russia and back, it's every parents' nightmare as Rose and her newfound friends evade kidnappers and renegade agents and find out that grandpa was right again, there really are porcelain mines in Russia!
