Scary Spring oleh C.A. Hartnell

"Fire it up" for friendship, fun, adventure, mystery, and courage that fill the pages of Scary Spring: Our Polio Fright of 1955. Like the Indian-head hood ornament on Aunt Jean's Pontiac Chieftain car that leads the way down dark and scary streets, eleven-year-old Pete leads his friend, Carol Ann, on exciting adventures in their 1950s world. These All-American kids befriend a runaway beagle puppy, spy on its owner, "mean, old Mr. Chester," confront their polio vaccine fears, witness a hot rod crash, and deal with the ravaging affects of polio. Ages eight and up will be thrilled and encouraged by this fast-paced, historical-fiction chapter book.
