Résumé
Lonely, friendless Ratchet Clark is suddenly packed off by her uncaring mother to spend the summer with two elderly relatives, twins Tilly and Penpen. They live in an area of Maine so remote that servant-eating bears are a constant menace.… Here, with her outlandishly eccentric great-aunts, Ratchet hears gruesome yet darkly humorous stories of family lore while experiencing, for the first time, some love and care. Some strong language. Grades 5-8. 2003.
