Annotation:
In this novel set during a Minneapolis summer when her parents are too busy working to take her on adventures, nine-year-old Julia Gillian is spending the time walking Bigfoot (her beloved St. Bernard), visiting with neighbors, and reading a book that looks as if it might have a sad ending. Happy endings are really important to Julia, but this summer she starts to learn that maybe some unhappy ones aren't really so sad, after all.

Praise
"[T]he straight-forward text, packed with daily details, seems directly descended from Beverly Cleary's works. A fresh, winsome heroine learns a lesson about facing her fears in this first of an anticipated series."
5/15/2008
"Julia Gillian isn't the perky, smart-mouthed heroine one finds in many contemporary books. Instead, she is acutely conscious of achieving a new maturity that allows her to question the authority and to assert herself--not bad for a nine-year-old."
