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.
Sixth-grader Augie Knapp, who has a deformed hand, is convinced by Lydie Rose, the strange new girl in town, that the Gypsies are coming for him.

The Gypsies Never Came
I can't recommend this one for many reasons. Foremost, when I attend a movie, or read a book that leaves me feeling like a deer in the headlights not quite comprehending what is happening, I shake my head with chagrin.
I'm not sure what this was about. A young boy who doesn't know his father? A young boy who has a disjointed mother? A young boy with a deformed hand? A young boy who steals? A young boy who wears a glove to hide his deformity? A young boy who is charmed by a poor girl claiming the gypsies will come for him?
The ending was mysterious and disjointed.
This was a waste of time and I'm glad I only paid .25 for it at a local library sale.
