An utterly charming Southern-voiced middle grade novel about a young girl and the adventure she embarks upon to prove her Grans stories were true. Perfect for fans of The Unforgettable Guinevere St. Clair and Three Times Lucky.

Trixy needs a story, fast, or shes going to fail the fourth gradethats a fact. But every time she sits down to write, her mind is a blank. The only stories she can think of are Grans, the ones no one else ever believed but Trixy gulped down like sweet tea. Gran is gone now, buried under the lilac bush in the family plot, so its not like Trixys hurting anybody to claim one of those stories as her own, is she?

That stolen story turns out to be a huge success, and soon everybody in town wants Trixy to tell them a tale. Before long, the only one left is the story she vowed never to share, the one that made Grans face cloud up with sadness. Trying to find a way out of this tangled mess, Trixy and her friend Raymond hit the road to follow the twists and turns of Grans past. Maybe then Trixy can write a story thats all her own, one thats the straight-up truth.
