The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester

Audio CD (Recorded Books Jan. 1, 2011)
Owen Jester wishes his family hadn't move to his grandfather's house in Carter, Georgia, after his dad lost his job at the hardware store. For one thing, his grandfather's lie-in nurse, Farlene, sure knows how to ruin anyone's idea of a good time. And then there's Viola, the bossy, know-it-all girl next door, who can't ever keep her nose in her own business. She even thinks Owen should put his freshly captured bullfrog, Tooley, back into Graham Pond. Who would go to all the trouble of catching the biggest, greenest, slimiest, most beautiful bullfrog in the whole world, just to let it go? Owen vows to stay as far away from Viola as possible. Then late one night, Owen hears unusual noises coming form the train track in the woods below his grandfather's house. Something mysterious and wonderful has fallen off the train. But when Owen finally discovers what it is, he realizes he just might need a know-it-all after all... Can Viola keep the most fantastic secret to ever tumble into Carter, Georgia?
