School has started, and secrets and adventures await Binny and her family in this delightful novel which "Horn Book "called a vigorous blend of screwball comedy and heartfelt emotion in a starred review.
School has started, and Binny can t stand it. She has a horrid hand-me-down uniform and the kids make fun of her posh city accent.
Then a storm damages the roof of their home, and Binny, her sensible older sister Clem, and her rambunctious brother James (and chickens) must move to a rental home out in the country. Then one of James s beloved chickens vanishes. What kind of creature is lurking in the undergrowth? And does it need Binny s protection?
Feisty, fiercely loywal, and totally charming, Binny will have readers rooting for her through every twist and turn of this surprising and hilariously moving tale."
