| Description: |
Rylant's very first novel tells the story of 11-year-old Ellen Farley, who during the year sees a favorite uncle leave for war, makes a best friend, and gets her first kiss. As she anticipates her 12th birthday, she whispers "some year" into the ear of her beloved beagle, Bullet. |
| Synopsis: |
an amazing year Ellie Farley's father, Okey, drinks too much, mostly because he hasn't been able to work since he was injured in a mining accident. He hasn't been able to hunt, either, so it's strange when he brings home a hunting dog, a beagle named Bullet. But Bullet is only the first odd thing that happens to Ellie the year she's eleven. She sees a favorite uncle go off to war; a boy in her class has a fit in the middle of geography and another is accidentally killed while target shooting; and Okey drives his Chevy pickup off the mountain, with near-tragic consequences. But still Ellie manages the ordinary pleasures of making a best friend and getting kissed for the first time -- it's no wonder she confides to Bullet on her twelfth birthday, "Some year." |
