When I first started this book, I thought it was hard to understand because they talk differently. I also thought it was for older children than I. They said "purty" for pretty and "ain't" for isn't. It took a while for me to understand them. Once I got used to it, the book was so exciting!
The book begins when the Slaters find out they have new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Boyer. Mr. Slater gets into fights with Mr. Boyer. Mr. Slater also gets drunk. Mr. Slater doesn't like the new neighbors and is always making trouble for them, such as cutting their fence! Bad Slaters!!!
Mrs. Slater wants to help the Boyers, but she has to listen to Mr. Slater who tells her not to help them. The main character from the Boyer family is Berthenia Lou, but they call her Birdie! The main character of the Slater family is Jefferson Davis (Shoestring).
If you want to find out what happens to these two families...you have to go to a library or buy this book!
