Graceanne has a secret hidden under the springs of her bed – notebooks filled with “Graceanne’s Book” -- an ongoing, marvelously inventive story about Martian astronomers, mackerel kids, a giant, living river and hope. Only twelve years old, Graceanne is already famous in Cranepool’s Landing, Missouri. She has the highest IQ in school, stars on the softball team, and unmatched in the art of “acting up.” That’s her way of stubbornly refusing to surrender to abuse, both emotional and physical, from her ferocious mother and their life of poverty. Graceanne has a spirit cannot be broken, a mind that remains independent, and a heart that welcomes genuine connections wherever they are found.
