The Bean King's Daughter

138 pp. | Holiday | June, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-8234-1644-5 $$16.95
(3) 4-6 Thematically like The Secret Garden and stylistically like a crisp sitcom script, this novel is told by twelve-year-old Phoebe, orphan daughter of Chicago's late millionaire Bean King. Involving her stepmother Vicki, her butler Henry, and assorted people from a ranching community where they go to avoid publicity, the story zigzags between illuminating insights and unexpected revelations as Phoebe comes to terms with her legacy.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
