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, born with a deformed hand, does not even know his father's name. When a stranger shows up in his class and thwarts his attempts to fit in, gypsies begin to appear in his dreams. "Roos fills his story with enriching details, and Augie's palpable yearning couldn't be more human," wrote PW. Ages 8-12. (Dec.) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
