The Great Upending

I am reviewing a copy of The Great Upending through Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing/Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books:
Twelve year old Sara has Marafan syndrome, and when she was ten and started getting tired all the time her Mother decided it would be best to homeschool her, but she tells her Mom it would be more fun if her younger brother Hawk was homeschooled as well.
Now at twelve, Sara and her brother are told not to bother the man, the Mister that moved into the apartment on the farm. It doesn't matter that they feel they want to know something about this strange man that rides a Unicycle around, and if they do bother this man they will be in a whole mess of trouble, but Sara has bigger troubles now. Marafan is causing issues with her heart, and she needs surgery to fix the problem, unfortunately they are not bringing in much money from the farm, due to a drought, and no one wants to loan them the money for the operation.
But when they discover The Mister is a well loved author of Children books, Hawk cooks up a scheme.
I give The Great Upending five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
