Gr. 3-5 New to Wakeview, South Carolina, in the late 1970s, Sylvia, 11, is sad when Momma (really her aunt) leaves for a while to find her family roots. Sylvia stays with her great-grandma Miz Lula Maye, 100 years old, who helps Sylvia with the stress of starting at a new school. When kids tease Sylvia about her friendship with the "old witch," Sylvia is ashamed (and angry at herself for being ashamed), but Miz Lula laughs at the kids and lets Sylvia know that she is always safe and loved at home.

Mallory McDonald is turning nine! And she is ready to celebrate getting the past year over--one troubled with moving, starting a new school, making new friends, and sibling rivalry. Mallory wants her ninth birthday to be extra special. So instead of celebrating just one day, she plans an entire "birth month" celebration. But soon, things aren't going according to plan, and Mallory fears that being nine may be just as difficult as being eight.
