Meet the Troublesome Creek gang. Trouble seems to follow these five around as if it knew just where they lived. This year, sassy Liz figures to plant the prettiest flower garden that’s ever grown in Troublesome Creek. She’s down in the dirt everyday, sweet talking to her pathetic sprouts, but some mysterious force bodes ill for her buds. Can Liz duck the trouble headed her way?
Nancy Kelly Allen brings a distinctive down-home voice to children’s fiction in this prickly story of gardening and rivalry down by the creek. Ms. Allen, who has been an elementary school teacher and librarian, has written several nonfiction kids books. She grew up in a log cabin on Troublesome Creek in Knotts County, KY, and lives there still.
K. Michael Crawford, a prizewinning illustrator with over two-dozen children’s books to her credit, lives on a Maryland farm.
