BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
11yo Idalee lives with her Mama in their boarding house in the small Colby, North Carolina. Mama dreams of being a country-western star and this summer she is going on the road with her band in search of stardom, leaving Idalee and the boarding house in the care of one of their long-term borders. When Idalee hears about a song-writing contest, she badly wants to enter, but she’ll need to find the treasure hidden in the house by her late granddaddy in order to buy the guitar she needs to inspire her.
I am unsure what time period Idalee lives in - though Charlie, from O’Connor’s Wish appears in the book as a young lady. For fans of gentle realistic fiction.
Characters default white.
