Many people have difficulty discussing death with elderly people and I really enjoyed the way Cammy and Gram handle it in the book. Central to the book is dealing with death – both of the inevitable death of Gram Tut and the sudden death of Patty Ann. The book touches on a lot of issues that would lead to great book discussions – dealing with death, under-age drinking, unemployment, language, caring for elderly family members, and prejudice. I was wondering what was going to happen to stir up the cousins! I could not relate to this aspect of the book I never was close to my cousins or grandmother, but I thoroughly enjoyed the humor in the family relationships in this book. I recommend this book to you if you like books that are Leisurely Paced and Fiction. This book is very Leisurely Paced and is a Fiction book. She can be sad, excited, energetic, happy, mad, enthusiastic, awesome, and even silly. I would rate this book five out of zero stars because Cammy has a lot of different kinds of moods. I felt really scared, but then I saw the rain outside my window and I wasn't scared anymore.
I can relate to this when I woke up to loud thunder and misinterpreted it by a gun shot.
Cammy finally saw her brother's pickup truck and waved to her brother and got in. I really like this author so far because he goes into good detail of how Cammy's afraid of thunder. Cammy hates thunder and found some shelter. It was thundering and raining and Cammy was scared in the cold rain. Finally Cammy broke into tears and ran out the door. Their argument was about how Patty Ann was so beautiful and good at everything she did. I am at the part when Cammy runs away from her cousins house because of an argument. She has a dying great grandmother that she calls Gram Tut. The book Is about an eleven year old girl named Cammy. I am currently reading Virginia Hamilton's Cousins.
