A heartwarming and hilarious journey back to the golden days of childhood, where every street is an adventure and every challenge is a life lesson waiting to be learned.
Meet Kimmy-a creative, freckle-faced third-grade tomboy who can outrun most of the boys on her street. She, along with her siblings and best friends, are the Cowell Street Gang: a mix of shapes, sizes, and colors, united by fun, sports, and a lifetime of neighborhood adventures.
From their stucco homes on the flat part of Cowell Street to the magical, redwood-surrounded cabin in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Kimmy's world is vibrant and full of challenges only a kid can face:
• The Grouchy Neighbor
• New Glasses
• A Missing Freckle
• A New Pet:
Join Kimmy, her brother Jeff, sister Janie, and friends like the quiet Katie, stylish Gigi, and the funny Norbert (or "Elvis") as they navigate the trials of elementary school, Catholic Sunday school, and the irreplaceable bond of a neighborhood gang.
Full of timeless nostalgia, genuine emotion, and the simple truths found in childhood, this book is a perfect read for anyone who remembers the joy of a homemade song, a perfect game of jacks, and the simple, enduring wisdom that sometimes, you have to be flexible and patient to get what you want.
