Book Synopsis

Summer days drift by slowly in Meadville, South Carolinathat is, until Sherman the one-legged pigeon flies into town and causes a ruckus. First Stella, who''s been begging for a dog, spots him on top of a garage roof and decides she wants him for a pet. Then there''s Ethel and Amos, an old couple who sees the pigeon in their barn keeping company with a little brown dog that barks all night. The pigeon lands smack in the middle of Mutt Raynard''s head, but he''s the town liar, so no one believes him. And when Stella''s brother Levi and his scabby-kneed, germ-infested friends notice the pigeon, they join the chase, too. Meanwhile, across town, Mr. Mineo has one less homing pigeon than he used to . . .

Barbara O''Connor has delivered another ingeniously crafted story full of southern charm, kid-sized adventures, and quirky, unforgettable characters.
