Summary
As she turns twelve during the summer of 1953, Penny gains new insights into herself and her family while also learning a secret about her father's death.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Itâs1953 and 11-year-old Penny dreams of a summer of butter pecan ice cream, swimming, and baseball. But nothingâs that easy in Pennyâs family. For starters, she canât go swimming because her motherâs afraid sheâll catch polio at the pool. To make matters worse, her favorite uncle is living in a car. Her Nonny cries every time her fatherâs name is mentioned. And the two sides of her family arenât speaking to each other!
Inspired by Newbery Honor winner Jennifer Holmâs own Italian American family, Penny from Heaven is a shining story about the everyday and the extraordinary, about a time in Americaâs history, not all that long ago, when being Italian meant that you were the enemy. But most of all, itâs a story about familiesâabout the things that tear them apart and bring them together. And Holm tells it with all the richness and the layers, the love and the laughter of a Sunday dinner at Nonnyâs. So pull up a chair and enjoy the feast! Buon appetito!
