Publisher Description: Nothing ever happens in Fayette, South Carolina. That's what Popeye thinks, anyway. His whole life, everything has just been boring, boring, boring. But things start to look up when the Jewells' Holiday Rambler makes a wrong turn and gets stuck in the mud, trapping Elvis and his five rowdy siblings in Fayette for who knows how long. Then things get even better when something curious comes floating down the creek--a series of boats with secret messages--and Popeye and Elvis set out on a small adventure. Who could possibly be sending the notes and what do they mean? This title has Common Core connections. |
