Mass Market Paperback in Very Good (VG) condition. Light wear. Clean and straight.
Queenie Peavy is a puzzle to everyone but herself. SHE knows why she fires stones at anything and everything — isn’t she the best shot in Georgia? SHE knows why she is defiant with her teachers and deliberately mean to her schoolmates — aren’t they all against her? And Queenie doesn’t care — not Queenie Peavy!
The fact is that Queenie has a chip on her shoulder too big for a lonely thirteen year old to carry. Times have “turned off hard” for everybody in the early 1930s, and they are especially hard for a girl whose idolized father has been in jail and whose mother works long hours.
But in spite of all that, Queenie can be happy, for Queenie has character.
