(3) 4-6 It's 1960, and twelve-year-old Peggy Sue's family has moved from Texas to the recently declared state of Hawaii. As the new girl, Peggy Sue is crudely pigeonholed as a haole--a non-native white person--by a bully. Bustard's historical setting adds a unique backdrop to this story of a terribly homesick girl who learns a lesson about family.
