About

It's 1948 in Rippling Creek, Louisiana, and Tate P. Ellerbee's new teacher has just given her class an assignment-learning the art of letter-writing. Luckily, Tate has the perfect pen pal in mind: Hank Williams, a country music singer whose star has just begun to rise. Tate and her great-aunt and -uncle listen to him on the radio every Saturday night, and Tate just knows that she and Hank are kindred spirits.

Reviews

"*The strength of this novel lies in the insight Tate develops as she deals with tragedy and depends on the love of family. VERDICT Artfully told, this middle grade novel pleases on many levels."
Maria LaRocco, Cuyahoga Public Library, Strongsville, OH, School Library Journal
"Soulful and satisfying."
Kirkus Reviews
"This book packs more emotional power than 90% of the so-called grown-up novels taking up precious space on bookshelves around the country."
USA Today on When Zachary Beaver Came to Town
