Books with title Keeping Up with Lizzie

PJ Purdee is a 14-year-old boy with a restless disposition and a curiosity and intelligence beyond his years. As a barefoot runner, he is likely to show up almost anywhere along the sandy roads that reach out from the cotton farms of the prairie into the impenetrable thicket grown up in the miles of Cutover where a virgin longleaf pine forest once stood. In the summer of 1950, PJ is finally old enough to do a man’s work, not only among the truck farms and cotton fields of the Prairie, but also in the cotton gin. While the boy gains acceptance and appreciation, his mother Belle is in a far different place in her life. She is on the verge of making a decision that will change her sons’ future forever.

Gracie and her aunt Roo are best friends. Roo has the heart and mind of a child, and she’s always had a knack for finding the best ways to have fun together. But now Gracie’s getting older, and her feelings about Roo are changing. She doesn’t always have time to play anymore. She worries about what her new school friend will think of strange Roo. Does growing up mean she’ll have to leave her best friend behind?

The world is comprised of all kinds of teachers.
