Barbara O’Connor is quickly becoming my favorite author. Have you read How to Steal a Dog or Greetings from Nowhere? She wrote these books and many others. I will warn you about Me and Rupert Goody. Some of the characters use words that you should never use at school. They live in a rural area in North Carolina and live a rough life, so it makes sense that they use bad words.
Jennalee, who is “Me” in the title, spends a lot of time in Uncle Beau’s store. Beau is not really her uncle, but she loves him. They have a daily routine that begins before school and lasts until dark. Their routine is interrupted when Rupert Goody shows up. Jennalee doesn’t want Rupert to stay, but there’s a good reason he’s moved in with Uncle Beau. Read this book to find out why Rupert arrives and whether Jennalee accepts him.
