PEEWEE, THE LIBRARIANS AND THE CAR RACE

On the heels of a tornado, four young and determined female librarians, unlike any before, blow intoPeewee's life and little town. The librarians drive cars, have tea parties in the library, encourage storytimes and have taken tomboy Peewee under their wings. At 14, Peewee wants nothing more than to be a mechanic and work alongside her brother but the librarians and circumstances change everything. Here Lies the Librarian by Richard Peck captures that special moment in time and history when new and exciting changes come at a seemingly rapid pace.

For 6th grade readers and up. Loosely based on a real event.
