It will transport you to a memorable summer in Warrenville, Georgia, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy your stay there! It’s also part of our summer reading BINGO game, along with many other fabulous summer reads. Just South of Home received starred reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, and Booklist. With a bit of luck, this foursome will heal the place they call home and the people within it they call family. Janie’s sticky fingers lead Sarah, Ellis and his best friend, Jasper, to uncover a deep-seated part of the town’s past. Janie has a knack for getting into trouble and asks Sarah to take her to Creek Church: a landmark of their small town that she heard was haunted. But when their cousin, Janie arrives for a visit, Sarah’s plans are completely squashed. At last, she can spend her summer months reading her favorite science books and bossing around her younger brother, Ellis, instead of being worked to the bone by their overly strict grandmother, Mrs.
Twelve-year-old Sarah is finally in charge.
Cousins Sarah and Janie unearth a tragic event in their small Southern town’s history in this witty middle grade debut novel that’s perfect for fans of Stella by Starlight, The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing, and As Brave as You.
