内容简介
As Beany Malone read the postcards from
her vacationing friends, she dreamed of go-
ing away on a trip herself. But it looked as
if Beany would have to spend her vacation
at home on Barberry Street with her brother
Johnny and her small nephew, Martie.
Then a letter from California gave Beany
the chance she wanted--a chance to take a
trip and, even more important, a chance to
show Norbett Rhodes, whose charm brace-
let she wore, that Beany Malone could have
fun without him.
The plan seemed simple enough: Beany
and Johnny were to drive Martie home tO
his parents in California. But "things are
always happening to the Malones." E,ven
before they left their home in Denver, they
found themselves accompanied by a "paying
guest," who paid in food instead ot~.the cash-
mlcumbered_._
by a horse who dined on two gallons of oats
each day. Once on the road, they found that
their small supply of money dwindled at an
alarming rate. And Beany s efforts to forget
all about Norbett succeed only in making
her more and more aware of her fondness for
him, and more and more resentful toward
the beautiful, scheming Cynthia who
seemed to have annexed him permanently.
Beany s father had said that any trip was
wasted unless you came back a different and
bigger person, and the truth of those words
comes to life in this story about the lively,
unpredictable, and completely lovable
Malones.
