Agatha May Walker does not
want to live
on
the busiest street in town!
Rushmore Boulevard is the busiest street in
town--until
Agatha May Walker decides to do something about it. Armed with a batch
of sweet and spicy gingersnaps, a wingback chair, a card table, and a
Parcheesi set, Agatha and her best friend, Eulalie Scruggs, take to the
street to reclaim it from the noisy cars, motorcycles, and giant trucks
that rumble by all day long.
Can these lifelong friends convince their neighbors to stop and smell
the honeysuckle, listen to the mariachi band, and best of all, sample
the sweet and spicy gingersnaps?
"Genuinely inspiring."
--Publisher's
Weekly
"Rockliff’s
gentle
and sweet-spirited story of
urban transformation is nicely complemented by McMenemy’s brightly
colored and energetic mixed-media
pictures."
