Walking Across Egypt
by Clyde Edgerton
Mattie Rigsbee is seventy-eight. She lives by herself in Listre, North Carolina (near Bethel). She claims she's "slowing down", but she still cuts her own grass and runs the Lottie Moon missions fund drive at Listre Baptist Church. This is the scene into which Edgerton drops Wesley Benfield -- adolescent, illegitimate, and delinquent, with a mouth full of foul language and bad teeth and a craving for good food.
Biggie and the Meddlesome Mailman
by Nancy Bell
Nancy Bell is back with the next installment in this delightful series loaded with all the quirky southern charm of rural Texas. Twelve year old J.R. again narrates the side-splitting adventures of his irrepressible grandmother Biggie Weatherford set in the small town of Job's Crossing. Luther Abernathy is a mailman with a dangerous habit. He makes it his business to know everyone else's--and then broadcasts it all over town. But it becomes clear that someone doesn't want him--or anyone else--to know one of the many secrets that lie within Luther's veritable treasure chest of knowledge when he meets an untimely death Biggie and young J.R. are the ones to find his body. It is seemingly an accidental one, but inconsistencies in the police report suggest foul play, and Biggie once more puts on her detecting hat.
Sticks
by Joan Bauer
There's only one thing in the world Mickey Vernon really wants, and it's hanging in the window of his family's pool hall. It's an awesome shirt that says Vernon's Pool Hall Youth Tournament Champion, Cruckston New Jersey, and the winner of the tento thirteen-year-olds' nine-ball tournament will have the honor of wearing it. For a ten-year-old, Mickey is one fantastic pool player. But to win the shirt, he's going to have to beat Buck Pender. Buck is three years older, is probably part gorilla, and has been pushing Mickey and his friends around since forever. Even with coaching from Arlen Pepper, math brain and loyal best friend, Mickey figures he's doomed. But then a bearded stranger in a cowboy hat rolls into town in a Peterbilt truck -- the ultimate. Joseph Alvarez is an ace with a pool cue. Even more important, he knew Mickey's pool champion father, who died when Mickey was a baby. But he's also a man with a past -- and Mickey's mother doesn't want Joseph spending time with her son. Mickey has absolutely got to talk his mother into letting this man teach him his dad's pool secrets. Amazing triple bank shots, fifth-grade heroics, and desperate measures to deal with unreasonable mothers add up to a hilarious novel about pool, parents, and trying to be the best.

Cousins
by Virginia Hamilton
"There is such confident love and candor in the way Hamilton writes about friends, family, and community. With Dickensian exuberance in language and gesture, she evokes the physicalness of family intimacy, the way people lean on each other, snuggle, share food, drink in feelings . . . it's (the) story that makes this book special . . . Read it".--Booklist, starred review.
