It's 1960. Sissie Stevenson and her cousin Spud McKenna are about to begin the sixth grade at Slippery Branch Elementary School. Will they survive another bully? Why is Aunt Pearl so ill-tempered? How can anyone be cruel to snakes and spiders? Why do family members keep secrets from one another? And what really happened to Spud's father?
