YOUNGER FICTION
Flood, Pansie Hart

Sylvia and Miz Lula Maye

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Felicia Marshall. In 1978, ten-year-old Sylvia moves to a small South Carolina town with her mother and befriends their one-hundred-year-old neighbor. Eventually she discovers that her father, whom she believed dead, is alive, and that Miz Lula Maye is actually her great-grandmother. Although most of the plot strains credibility, the intergenerational friendship is endearing and convincing. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.
