Description
He holds his hand up to her face. "Celebrate this? I hate this. I hate this every day.""You don't mean that," Lydie protests. "When the Gypsies come, you'll understand.""Don't you get it, Lydie?
They never come for gimps like me."For a small town, Warsaw Junction has a lot of secrets.
Who could guess that Augie Knapp, the kid who hides his deformed hand in a glove, has collected most of them...and hides them in an old suitcase?No one even suspects Augie has a secret of his own until Lydie Rose Meisenheimer blows into town and signs up for sixth grade.
Driving a broken-down convertible, wearing a black straw hat, and proclaiming herself Augie's new best friend, she turns his days into embarrassing nightmares. But she also fills his nights with bright-shining visions of Gypsies -- Gypsies who could make Augie's dreams come true...if only he'd dare to dream a little harder. The Gypsies Never Came is a bold departure for well-known author Stephen Roos.
It's the story of a boy who wants to belong, a story that will make you laugh, break your heart, and change the way you look at the world.
