Chapter Book Chips - "The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis" by Barbar O'Conner

Popeye lives in Fayette, South Carolina, a place where nothing much ever happens. He spends his summer days with his grandmother, Velma, who likes to teach Popeye new vocabulary words for fun. Popeye's only real friend is his dog, Boo. But that all changes the day the Jewell family Holiday Rambler gets stuck in the mud on the road outside Popeye's house. The Jewell's have six children, including Elvis, the oldest. He and Popeye strike up a friendship that leads to adventure. Some mysterious person is sending "Yoo-hoo" boats down the creek by Popeye's house. The little boats have secret messages inside. But where do they come from and who is sending them? As the two boys solve the mystery, Popeye leaves behind his lonely days and even learns to be a "Royal Rule Breaker", sometimes. This gentle, quiet story will touch your heart as Popeye finds the very thing he longs for, a friend. -gw-
