Lucy’s family is on their way to help her aunt,
Frankie. Rain is on the way, which could
mean flooding on her property and even though she insists she doesn’t need
help, they are going anyway. Lucy’s
family is her father, her mother, her younger sister and her baby brother. Everyone in Lucy’s family can sing except
her. Even her brother, who can’t talk
yet, sings. Teddy sings to Lucy at
night. It is their secret. He doesn’t sing the words, but he sings the
tunes and he has perfect pitch. The rain
starts while they are on the way to their aunt’s house and there is so much
water that it is a little scary. Then,
while at Frankie’s house disaster strikes and Lucy finds that even though she
can’t sing, she still has a voice. A
really short easy story for early chapter book readers, a lot of younger kids
who like real life stories about family will enjoy this book.
