 | Capp Street Carnival by Sandra Dutton
Eleven-year-old Mary Mae Krebs dreams of being a famous singer-songwriter someday. And it`s going to be made possible by her great-granny`s guitar and box of music. But as much as Mary Mae thinks about her future, she`s also got a heart big enough to worry about other folks and their futures. She`s organizing a carnival to benefit Little Lukey, a two-year-old boy with a heart murmur, and she`s worried about the family`s boarder, Annabelle. Annabelle`s been like an older sister to Mary Mae, so Mary Mae hates to see her making bad choices when it comes to love. But nudging Annabelle in the right direction means opposing a mighty force: Mary Mae`s mother. Mrs. Krebs in convinced that Leroy, assistant manager of the Rise`n`Shine Poultry Company, is the man for Annabelle. Mary Mae doesn`t like Leroy at all, and things start looking a whole lot worse when he and Annabelle get engaged. AUTHOR: Sandra Dutton
