What a great book! Told from the viewpoint of a nine year old girl nick named Button, the story tells of a very shy young 9 year old girl who becomes mesmerized by 10 year old Winnalee and her 25 year old sister Freeda. Button's aunt, Verdella, has taken the young newcommers to town under her wing and put them up in Button's grandmother's old house. Freeda quickly becomes the topic of the town gossip due to her "wild" ways. Button and Winnalee become quick best friends and Winnalee's vivid imagination starts to bring Button's personality to the surface. The characters are developed well and the trouble they get into is very realistic. The book leaves you hoping for a sequel to this great story.
