Books Tell You Why, Inc.

A fine first printing of the first edition in fine dust jacket.

After her mother's death, twelve-year-old Margot moves to a small town in upstate New York to live with her grandparents. Margot is an only child, so she's used to being the focus of her parents' attention. Margot is also used to spending her summers with her mother and her father's family in their cabin on the lake. This year, Margot is spending her summer with her grandparents, and she's not looking forward to it. Her grandfather is a hermit, and her grandmother is busy working. Margot is bored, and she's not the only one. The other kids in the town are mean to Margot, and she's not sure why. One day, Margot finds a box of old photographs in her grandfather's attic. Margot's grandfather was a painter, and she finds a photograph of her mother as a child. Margot is sure that she's seen this photograph before, but she can't remember where.; 8vo; [xii], 225, [3] pages.
