Description
In "Chocolate-Covered Baloney" by K.D. McCrite, twelve-year-old April Grace navigates a year of major changes in 1987. Her best friend Myra Sue becomes secretive, her family welcomes a new baby brother, and her neighbor Isabel takes on the role of gym teacher at her school. To complicate things further, a long-lost relative suddenly reappears, adding to the challenges April faces as she adjusts to all these new circumstances. This is the third book in the April Grace series, written for middle grade readers.
