(3) 1-3 Tales from Deckawoo Drive series. Illustrated by Chris Van Dusen. Stern, rigid Eugenia and her sweet sister Baby are back for a fourth transitional-reader adventure, in which Eugenia mysteriously receives an accordion in the mail. When her various schemes for getting rid of the "frivolous" instrument are foiled, Eugenia finally unbends enough to experience the satisfaction of making music. The writing is as lively as ever, as are the frequent black-and-white illustrations.
