Sonny is only one of the spies at the Bradshaw house in Mozier,
Alabama. But as a child he saw a tray full of dinner come flying
across the front hall at his father. His mother's aim was dead on.
And Daddy's departure promptly followed. Loretta, Sonny's older
sister, spies by eavesdropping. As she tells him, "How else am I
going to survive in a family tight-lipped as tombs?" But the kids'
spying only scratches the surface of what's really going on in this
1950s family in the deep South. While Deaton, the youngest, worries
about pirates and vampires, and Uncle Marty, family protector,
serves up scripture with every bite at the Circle of Life donut
shop, somebody is watching. Somebody unsuspected by Sonny. But at
thirteen he knows something's fishy, and he intends to find out
what. That's why one Friday after Uncle Marty pays him for
dishwashing at the Circle of Life, he sneaks out of town, first by
bike and then by bus. Selma, his mama; Mamby; Nissa; Uncle Sink;
Aunt Roo; his sister and brother -- nobody from that
all-too-serious but often hilarious crew has a clue where he's
gone. And even Sonny can't say exactly what he's after, until those
tight-lipped tombs start talking, and life in the house on Rhubarb
changes for good.
