(1) 4-6 With his dad out of work, Beans Curry (Turtle in Paradise) begins working for a local rumrunner. Beans's earnest voice shows a young boy trying to help out but getting caught up in dubious circumstances. This standalone prequel's short episodic chapters adroitly incorporate the historical background and flavor of Key West during the Great Depression, but never at the expense of character or story. Reading list, websites.
