Illustrated by
Kevin O'Malley.
While visiting his unconventional aunts in the country, Jackie participates in a raid on the neighbor's plum tree to make jam. After Jackie drops off a few jars of jam in a nighttime restitution visit, the angry farmer becomes a lot more neighborly. Although long, the story is amiably paced and filled with farm details and the aunts' idiosyncrasies; the illustrations are O'Malley's humorous, individuated cartoons.
