It's a little HAYWIRE

IT'S A LITTLE HAYWIRE is a middle grade novel for children ages 8-12.

Here's the summary:
Owen True is eleven and eleven twelfths and has been "exiled" to the small crazy town of Hayward, WA, aka, Haywire, while his mother is on her honeymoon. All he has to whittle away the time is the company of Gramps, his black lab Daisy, and his Haywire friends, Mason and Mikala Sweet. They don't look so hot this year, in fact, the whole town has gone to pot since the mill shut down.

Owen has his first encounter with a real life homeless man who ends up needing Owen's help in more ways than one. But how does a rich city kid help the small town's suffering citizens?

And what is Owen to make of the fog train and its scary, otherworldy occupants that appears out of thin air on the old tracks behind Gramps' house? Do they have the answer Owen is looking for?

Sounds great! Too bad none of my kids have an eReader.

Old Kitty - Isn't that the best name ever?! I love it. =D

Dezzy - It is and so is she. ;D

Stina - That's too bad. My kids have the iphone, with the kindle, nook, iBooks apps on it. They love it, but honestly, they love my kindle fire more (it's bigger).
