What would Gracie Lee do? With Halloween only days away, she wouldย spend all afternoon scheming up a costume usingย items in her closet. A hobo? A witch? Maybe aย gypsy?
Gracie Lee has a colorfulย imagination andย uses it toย entertain herself. Sometimes it gets her out of tight spots. Sometimes, like that one certain Halloween, her imagination causes big trouble.
Last year,ย Momma sewed special costumes for Gracie and her little sister, but not thisย year. Thisย year, Momma isย too busy. Momma doesn’tย have a teacherย job or a job at the bank like the lady who countsย money, but she stays plenty busy doingย stuffย around the house that no one else wants to do. Things like sweeping and cooking supper and hanging laundry on the clothesline. Her biggest job isย keeping Daddy happy.ย That’s full-time work.
But back to Halloween.
Gracie thinksย Halloween isย one of the neatestย holidays mainly because of all theย free candy. And pretending to be someone or something besides a farm girl from Arkansas isย a niceย escape, even if only forย one night.
Look for The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee,
soon to be released by SYP Publishing!
