Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-For 10-year-old Sylvia, moving with her mother from Florida to a farm in Wakeview, SC, proves to be more than she bargained for. To begin with, she finds out that her new best friend, 100-year-old Miz Lula Maye, is also her great-grandmother, and that the woman's grandson is her father. When Miz Lula Maye pulls some old documents out of her special hiding place, the girl begins to wonder if more family mysteries might be lurking in other "secret holes." What she learns turns her life upside down and ultimately reveals her true identity. The strength of this story of self-discovery lies in the loving relationship between Sylvia and her great-grandmother. Although the action is set in 1978, the novel has a timeless quality that makes the period difficult to pin down, particularly given the vague allusions to some ancestors who lived as slaves. The use of Southern dialect is mostly appealing, though it is not always sustained, making certain passages seem jumpy and disconnected from the rest of the narrative. Marshall's lovely black-and-white watercolor illustrations nicely complement the text.
