Besides, Beans isn't anyone's fool. In fact, he has plans. Big plans. And the consequences might surprise even Beans himself.Return to the wonderful world of Newbery Honor Book Turtle in Paradise through the eyes of Turtle's cousin Beans!"A surprising coming-of-age story with a remarkably honest message." -The New York Times"[Holm] captures this colorful slice of Depression history with her usual vivacious wit. . . .
