{"product_id":"sonnys-house-of-spies-9781416968153","title":"Sonny's House of Spies","description":"Sonny is only one of the spies at the Bradshaw house in Mozier, Alabama. But as a child he saw a tray full of dinner come flying across the front hall at his father. His mother's aim was dead on. And Daddy's departure promptly followed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLoretta, Sonny's older sister, spies by eavesdropping. As she tells him, \"How else am I going to survive in a family tight-lipped as tombs?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the kids' spying only scratches the surface of what's really going on in this 1950s family in the deep South. While Deaton, the youngest, worries about pirates and vampires, and Uncle Marty, family protector, serves up scripture with every bite at the Circle of Life donut shop, somebody \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e watching. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSomebody unsuspected by Sonny. But at thirteen he knows something's fishy, and he intends to find out what. That's why one Friday after Uncle Marty pays him for dishwashing at the Circle of Life, he sneaks out of town, first by bike and then by bus. Selma, his mama; Mamby; Nissa; Uncle Sink; Aunt Roo; his sister and brother -- nobody from that all-too-serious but often hilarious crew has a clue where he's gone. And even Sonny can't say exactly what he's after, until those tight-lipped tombs start talking, and life in the house on Rhubarb changes for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Ella Lyon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aladdin Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.70w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416968153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e78700 \/ Sonny's House of Spies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Ella Lyon is the author of \u003ci\u003eTrucks Roll!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePlanes Fly!\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBoats Float!\u003c\/i\u003e, cowritten with her son Benn.
