Lucy fears that a new supermarket will force her grandfather's grocery store out of business. Inspired by a school project about community, she turns organizer, and she and her neighbors spruce up Grandpa's store and pledge their loyalty. The characterizations are strong, the illustrations deft and affecting, the story complex and uplifting but not deluded: Lucy acknowledges that the new supermarket is a success.
