- Synopsis
- "Keep away, Cracker, or he'll hurt you." When Cracker Jackson receives the "anonymous" note, he knows it's from his beloved exbabysitter, Alma. But what can an 11-year-old do, afraid to ask his divorced parents for help, yet desperately aware that Alma's in serious trouble? His best friend, class clown Goat, offers his support, but his schemes are high on lunacy and low on results. And then there's Alma herself, childlike in her affections and faith, caught up in a situation beyond her control. In a tour de force. Betsy Byars brings one of today's most complex issues into compassionate focus, while sending readers on a breakneck roller coaster ride with characters we laugh with, sympathize with, and most of all, remember with love.
