We're in Oakland, baby! Chapters 3-4 of Rita Williams-Garcia's "One Crazy Summer" (2010), the novel about three sisters spending the summer of 1968 with their estranged mother. Delphine and crew meet a shady-looking Cecile at the airport and are whisked away to the funky green stucco structure they'll be calling home for 28 days. We quickly learn that Cecile is no Carol Brady – what is going to happen to these poor children?! Alison recounts her very Sheila-esque shimmy through the garage window, and Jody reads a great letter from Blume Head Dustin about growing up with Judy Blume and his plans for an Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great birthday party (aka THE DREAM)! Lastly, thank you to all of our Patrons, we so appreciate you!
