Love doesn’t always
look like it does on television . . .
Love Me Tender
AUDREY COULOUMBIS
ELVIRA’S FAMILY HAS never been the warm, fuzzy type. Most of the time,
Elvira can’t stand the sight of her little sister, Kerrie. Elvira and her mother,
Mel, fight more often than not. Mel hasn’t spoken to her own family in
years. And when Mel announces she’s pregnant again, Elvira’s daddy
storms off to Las Vegas to enter an Elvis impersonator competition.
But when an urgent phone call sends Elivra, Mel, and Kerrie on an
unexpected trip to visit Mel’s family, Elvira discovers that love doesn’t
always look like it does in television commercials—it can be as simple as a
bucket of blueberries, an attic full of memories, or a song. But it’s there all
right. You just have to know how to look for it.
Praise for The Misadventures of Maude March:
★ “Delightful . . . memorable. Hard to put down, and a fun read-aloud.”
—School Library Journal, Starred
