Laura Grey and Friends

The Great Depression continues, but Laura finds her life filled with things of far greater significance to her. There is the teacher who flies paper airplanes around the room and the old man with the gun and the dog. There is Carl, the new boy in school, and Sheldon, theboy who claims Laura is his girl. There is Florence's surprising information about boys and what they talk about. There is the long, rainy afternoon and Laura's hasty decision to act, and its consequences. Finally, there is the anticipation of Christmas and the tragedy of family illness. Most of all, there are the changes in Laura's life. Too many, she will tell you.
