(3) 4-6 After eleven-year-old Venola Mae Cutright's grandfather dies, her parents send her to stay nights with her grandmother, who lives with thirteen cats in a trailer in Venola Mae's back yard. As her grandmother's health declines due to the diabetes she's eventually diagnosed with, Venola Mae's diary entries record her problems and feelings in a lighthearted but realistic way. Childlike line drawings accompany many of the journal entries.
