A Ginnie West Adventure
Twelve-year-old BFFs, Ginnie West and Tillie Taylor, are matchmaking geniuses. Together, they maneuvered Ginnieâs widower-dad into proposing to Tillieâs divorcee-mom. Sweet! Certain they are well on their way to sisterhood, each girl is floored when Tillieâs lousy-excuse-for-a-father puts in an appearance after a six year absence. Too bad âlousy dad repellantâ doesnât come in a can. Even though Tillieâs dad has sobered up and is determined to make amends, Tillie would rather he just disappear again. If he stays, âOperation: Secret Sistersâ may need to be renamed âOperation: Not Gonna Happen.â I If thatâs not bad enough, the biggest bully in sixth grade comes over often and wishes he could call the Westâs farmhouse âhome.â When the bullyâs abusive dad shows up as well, Ginnie thinks itâs time to change her familyâs motto from âWhen youâre here, youâre familyâ to âThereâs no more room at the Westâs.â
