MADDEN, KERRY<br />
GENTLE’S HOLLER<br />
“Livy Two is one of nine siblings living<br />
in the North Carolina mountains during<br />
the 1960s. With her head-in-the-clouds,<br />
banjo-playing father and an overworked,<br />
perpetually pregnant mother, Livy Two<br />
assumes many of the child-care and<br />
household responsibilities. Still, she has<br />
time to dream of future travels, a home<br />
of her own, and her own country-music<br />
hits. Her worry over blind little sister<br />
Gentle dampens her dreams, but she<br />
finds creative solutions with the family’s<br />
minimal resources.” —Booklist<br />

Store…the book gives readers<br />
a kid’s-eye view of important happenings<br />
and reminds them that history is something<br />
that is always in the making.”<br />
