Nuts to You is wholly original, funny, lively, and thought-provoking. We lived in a little brick house on a street full of nearly. My sister Cathie taught me to read when she was six and I was four. My mother taught elementary school and my dad was a lab technician. New communities are discovered, new friends are made, huge danger is encountered (both man-made and of the fox and bobcat variety) and mysteries are revealed. I was born in the summer of 1956 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up not far from there in Cheswick, a town on the Allegheny River. So when Jed is snatched up by a hawk and carried away to another realm, TsTs and Chai resolve to go after him.


The squirrels Jed, TsTs, and Chai are the very best of friends.
