Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos

Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos
340 pages
Newberry Award winner 2012


Jackie is grounded for the entire summer by his feuding parents. That is the only way that writing and typing out obituaries for Mrs Volker could ever be something he eagerly awaited. But of the original people left over from the time Eleanor Roosevelt started up their community, the little old ladies are dropping left and right. Is there something more going on than 'natural causes?'
This book is hillarious...so funny I didn't even mind all the history (which is not my cup of tea.)
