There’s plenty of fizz in this young bottle.
She (Billie) is willful, resourceful, and self-reliant. With a spring-loaded sense of justice, she opens the story pretty much closed to the notion that anyone else but her might be right. She’s willing to sass her father, bristle at her grandmother, and ice her best friend.
Despite her shortcomings, there’s much endearing about this independent daughter of a North American Indian mom and an Irish immigrant dad. While she has scant regard for Albert Einstein, she knows how to grow thousand-pound pumpkins. She’s not afraid to take a small old boat to fish in deep water. And she’s a gifted beekeeper, skilled enough to choose from a roster of flowers to bring changing flavors to her honey. She’s also part of a solid family a bit tired out by a pair of new arrivals that require some pretty quick growing-up all around.
Fervid about First Place, Billie claims right from the start that life is about winning, noting “they don’t cheer when you lose.” What she gradually discovers is maybe it’s possible to cheer privately when you learn — win OR lose — whether it involves llamas, fish or friendship; wide divides or slow mends.
A very fine story if you’re twelve and growing, or somewhat older with hopes of improving.
