This 1982 novel is the story of Bo Stubbs, about to launch a new life as the privileged stepson of a very rich man--but first he has to survive a month with his father, an itinerant camel-keeper who entertains at shopping malls and conventions around the country. T-Backs, T-Shirts, COAT, and Suit: First published in 1993, this is another story of a kid doing time in an unfamiliar, unconventional environment--in this case, Chloe is spending the summer with her aunt Bernadette, who drives a food service wagon in Florida.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
PW highly recommended both of these novels by the two-time Newbery Medalist--the first, "a grand performance," describes a boy who looks forward to the perks of his mother's remarriage to a wealthy man but who must first spend a month with his father, who entertains at shopping malls; the second is a "brilliantly sustained" mystery about a kidnapped daughter reunited with her family after 17 years. Ages 9-14; 10-14.
