(2) 4-6 In Meadville, South Carolina, Stella and best friend Gerald are constantly plagued by Stella's brother, Levi. Outside town, Arthur Mineo has homing pigeons, including one-legged Sherman who flies around town, becoming a curiosity everyone wants to catch. O'Connor brings it all together, creating a quiet adventure, then an apt conclusion; here subtlety of character and setting, rather than action, rules the roost.
