When Zachary Beaver Came to Town

(1) 4-6 The summer of '71 brings a lot of change for some residents of the small town of Antler, Texas. Toby's mother leaves, his best friend Cal's brother is killed in Vietnam, and Zachary Beaver, self-proclaimed fattest-boy-in-the world, has arrived in town. In her own down-to-earth, people-smart way, Holt provides not a night out in the big city but a lovely, at times even giddy, date with real life.
Reviewer: Mary Burkey | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 1999
