Full Of Beans

"The irrepressible Beans Curry is at the heart of this rollicking whopper of a Depression-era story. Always scheming to make a few extra nickels, Beans is not above working for a shady character or two, especially since it beats babysitting. When a stranger shows up in his hometown of Key West, Fla., with a plan to turn it into a tourist destination, Beans finds himself right in the middle of the action. Author Jennifer Holm keeps the laughs coming in this colorful story that captures the small town dynamics of another era. (For ages 8 to 12)"
