The Empress of Elsewhere

280 pp. | DK Ink/Jackson | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7894-2498-3 $$17.95
(2) 4-6 Jim and his sister Mary Al are hired by a wealthy widow--ostensibly to care for the Empress, a capuchin monkey, but in reality as companions for her ungovernable granddaughter, J.D., a tightly wound bundle of rage and pain. By turns comic and heartrending, the story is propelled along by Jim's distinctive East Texan narration and populated by a cast of memorable characters.
