INTERMEDIATE FICTION

Rebel McKenzie

(4) 4-6 Rebel gets stuck baby-sitting for her sister Lynette's son Rudy in a Virginia mobile home community instead of spending her summer at paleontology camp. She enters a pageant in hopes of winning the money to attend; she ends up learning more about Lynette and Rudy, a new friend, and herself than expected. Southern quirkiness abounds throughout the mildly amusing but unsurprising tale.
