Another astute coming-of-age novel by the Newbery Medal-winning author of "Bridge to Terabithia" and "Jacob Have I Loved". This time Paterson sets her story in 1899 Vermont, where 10-year-old Robbie is so alarmed by reports of the coming end of the world that he resolves to become an "apeist" because apeists have more fun. His preacher father is most displeased. For ages 12 and up.  (USE237, $15.00)
