Opis

Book Two starts with a bang-well, really-a crash. Meanderthaller friend, Johnnie T crashes a gang picnic under the trestle in a surprise return from Texas and lands a bad-busted arm in his fall. Doc Bucky and other grown-ups to the rescue. The gangs first "old" friend, Frank, is dead and gone, but his no-count giving and goldstone heart awards continue. With earning a goldstone heart award in mind, the Meanderthallers volunteer to help Franks friend, ol Mose, with yard and garden work. Little C becomes friends with Koishka, his old reprobate of a cat, and ol Mose becomes their new/old friend. Melvin, the Kansas City import member of the gang, discovers a treasure in ol Moses new/old garage. An EJ decision saves him and Mary Clare when the Clown in Camo (almost hit by the high schoolers on the teeter-totter cart) appears. He is for real. He is scary. The Meanderthallers and grown-up friends are there when the CamoClown, Johnnie T and Ronnie B crash-er-collide. Learning how junior high schoolers survived life in a l960s small town will challenge readers. Those who lived through it will nod and wonder. Kids of all ages will read and ask the same question: How did they do it?
