But Justins elation quickly turns to worry when his mother loses her job. To earn money Justin sells Little Billy, the familys beloved baby goat. But the new owner, Mr. Grimsted, mistreats Little Billy. Now Justin must break the law to save him. Then one afternoon a red sports car appears in the driveway and with it comes emotional upheaval for the family, as well as the tempting lure of adventure. Author Rosa Jordans memorable, well-drawn characters are woven together through circumstance into a web of complex relationships marked by challenges and the confusion of divided loyalties. The result is a richly textured portrait of small town life and a struggling family that will satisfy middle readers.
