Book Description:
When Belle Prater disappears, her boy Woodrow comes to live with his grandparents in Coal Station, Virginia. Woodrow's cousin Gypsy lives next door and tries to find out about his mother's disappearance. As the cousins spend time together, they find they have much in common and become best friends during their sixth-grade year. But Gypsy, the town beauty, has hidden secrets of her own and wonders how Woodrow accepts his mother's disappearance when she can't get over her father's death. That's when Woodrow tells Gypsy the truth about his mother.

I enjoy young adult books but this one just wasn't that good. Someone posted a review saying the story went nowhere and I would have to agree. By the time it was over I didn't care what happened to Woodrow's mother.

1971 Newbery Medal Winner. An intense book - for all eras.
