The Book of Bright Ideas by Sandra Kring
Wisconsin, 1961. Evelyn Button Peters is nine the summer Winnalee and her fiery-spirited older sister, Freeda, blow into her small town-and from the moment she sees them, Button knows this will be a summer unlike any other. Much to her mother's dismay, Button is fascinated by the Malone sisters, especially Winnalee, a feisty scrap of a thing who carries around a shiny silver urn containing her mother's ashes and a tome she calls The Book of Bright Ideas. It is here, Winnalee tells Button, that she records everything she learns: her answers to the mysteries of life. But sometimes those mysteries conceal a truth better left buried. And when a devastating secret is suddenly revealed, dividing loyalties and uprooting lives, no one-from Winnalee and her sister to Button and her family-will ever be the same.Sandra Kring is a Wisconsin resident. Carry Me Home, her first book, was a BookSense Noteworthy Selection and a Midwest Booksellers' Choice Award contender in 2005. The Book of Brilliant Ideas was a Target Bookmarked(TM) pick in 2006, and in 2007, it was named to the New York Public Library's Books for Teens list.
