Front Porch Stories: At the One-Room School

It's a hot summer night in Nutbrush, MO, and 12-year-old Margie and her seven-year-old cousin are bored to death. But the boredom ends when Daddy decides to entertain them with his storytelling. The old one-room school house is the perfect setting for his famous tales, including the one about the giant shadow that chased Aunt Daisy around the backyard, the time Great Grandpa Wally came back from the grave and the unforgettable visit from Eleanor Roosevelt. Based loosely on the author's own childhood, Front Porch Stories is a seamlessly woven collection of 10 suspenseful, exciting tales that will thrill children and adults alike. (PB)
