An enjoyable book narrated by a 10 year old girl living in Mill Town, MN. "Teaspoon", nick name for Marlena Isabella, is being raised by her mother's former boyfriend, after her mother leaves for Hollywood. It is a coming of age story in which the reader will see some of Teaspoon's innocence disappear as the book progresses. Teddy, the boyfriend; Mrs. Fry, the eighty something neighbor and the people across the street try to rub the rough edges off Teaspoon, but it takes Brenda, Miss Mill Town everything, to do the job. Brenda becomes Teaspoon's Big Sister and sets out to help her grow up in many ways. An entertaining book set in the 1950's.
