Encountering witches, giants, an ogre who refuses to do housework, unwanted boyfriends, and all manner of conundrums, Molly manages to outwit them all with a potent combination of nerve, trickery, and plain luck. Also appearing in the stories are Molly's sisters Polly and Betts, the famous Appalachian hero Jack (Molly saves him a few times), and three cornbread-baking mice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese delightful and often surprising stories are sure to appeal to readers and listeners of all ages who enjoy an adventurous tale well told.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Shelby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 6.56w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807831632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e130457 \/ Adventures of Molly Whuppie and Other Appalachian Folktales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Delaware Diamonds Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2007 pg. 998\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 125 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2008 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelby, Anne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Anne Shelby is a storyteller, poet, and award-winning author of children's books.
