Turtle On a Fence Post

It's only been a couple of months since Delrita lost both her parents, and living with Uncle Bert and prissy Aunt Queenie isn't easy. Aunt Queenie's cantankerous father, Sergeant Roebuck, seems to resent Delrita's very existence. It's not until a class project forces Delrita to spend time with the Sergeant that she begins to realize that sometimes people aren't what they seem-and Sergeant Roebuck may be exactly who she needs.

"[An] engrossing, energetic sequel to The Man Who Loved Clowns." (Kirkus Reviews)

"This engaging story . . . is about coping with grief and accepting change, and those readers who become attached to Delrita in the first book will find plenty to enjoy here." (School Library Journal)
