Hardcover
(The Viking Press, New York, Aug. 16, 1967)
Queenie Peavy was a puzzle to everyone but herself. She knew why she fired stones at anything and everything- wasn't she the best shot in Georgis? She knew why she was defiant with her teachers and deliberately mean to her schoolmates-weren't they all agaonst her? And Queenie didn't care--not Queenie Peavy!! The fact was that Queenie had a chip on her shoulder too big for a lonely 13 year old to carry growing up in the depression years in Georgia.
