Glory Bea Goode, a shy "townie" with a port-wine birthmark, and Marvalene, a "carnie" weary of her nomadic life, meet and share an intense three-day friendship in which both thirteen-year-olds come to value their own disparate lives and families. The rural Missouri setting is well realized and, although the novel is slow to start and somewhat overwritten, it reaches a satisfying conclusion.
