Waiting for Augusta by Jessica Lawson
With a fresh, funny voice, lots of adventure, and a healthy dose of magic, from the author of The Actual & Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher and Nooks & Crannies--which School Library Journal called original, engaging, and funny in a starred review--comes a profound tale of love, loss, and family. Eleven-year-old Benjamin Putter has a lump in his throat, and he's certain it's a golf ball. He knows it sounds crazy, but everything's been topsy-turvy since his father died last month. And he doesn't know how to fix it. Then, one day, something starts tugging at Ben, telling him to hurry to Augusta, Georgia--home of the most famous golf course in the world. Ben might be going a little crazy, but escaping Hilltop, Alabama, sounds like a darn good idea. (And just maybe it will make that lump go away.) As he makes his way to Augusta, Ben partners up with a mysterious runaway named Noni, and they embark on a journey full of strange and wonderful surprises--and possibly magic--at every turn.Jessica Lawson's books include The Real & Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher, which received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and Nooks & Crannies, which was awarded a Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year. Waiting for Augusta, her third children's book, is a Junior Library Guild selection.
