Description

It had been only two months since Spoon Gilmore's grandmother died, but he was already worried he would forget her. He needed something special that belonged to her to remember her by. Spoon wasn’t sure what it was, but he knew he'd recognize it when he saw it. However, Spoon's little sister Joanie was always following him and demanding attention, leaving him no time to look or think clearly. This lack of time to think led Spoon to make a questionable decision. The book is recognized in the 02 Nutmeg State Children's Book Award Masterlist and 00-01 Young Reader's Choice Award Program Masterlist.
