1-3Tales from Deckawoo Drive series.
Illustrated by
Chris Van Dusen.
In this third entry, the Lincoln sisters--hard-nosed, humorless Eugenia and soft-hearted, oppressed Lucille ("Baby")--take center stage. On a train trip by herself, Baby makes friends and gains self-confidence, and Eugenia unbends enough to admit that she missed her. Generous illustrations add to our understanding of the characters in this story, a portrait of timeless small-town America that takes pleasure in language.
