The next breakout star in the grand tradition of southern literature! A debut that introduces the most charming, mischievous, unforgettable heroine since Scout Finch. Possum Porter has had it with change. First she lost Mama, leaving a hole nothing can fill. And now, instead of trying to return to some kind of normal, Daddy's sending Possum to school. A real school, where you have to wear SHOES. Where some Yankee teacher will try to erase all the useful things Mama taught Possum during their lessons at home. So Possum comes up with a plan. If she can prove that she already knows everything worth knowing, Daddy will let her quit school and stay where she belongs. She won't have to deal with snooty classmates, or worry about tarnishing Mama's memory. But unfortunately, Possum doesn't shoot to the top of the class like she expected. Even worse, the unmarried Yankee teacher seems to have her eyes on someone...Possum's Daddy. With time running out, Possum decides to do something drastic to get away from school—and get Daddy out of Ms. Arthington's clutches—or risk losing everything that's keeping her broken heart glued together.
