The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis
The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis
by Barbara O'Conner
Published: 2009
ISBN: 978-0374370558
Have you ever been so board that you might die? Popeye has felt like this for a long time, living with his grandmother in Fayette, South Carolina. Life changes when a motor home gets stuck in the mud near their house. Popeye befriends, Elvis, the boy of this loud, eccentric, and interesting family. The two decided that they are in need of an adventure, which begins when they see a boat made of chocolate milk containers, filled with secret messages, float by in the creek. They need to find out who is sending these? What do they mean? This is an American adventure, which many young kids dream about. Part of their adventure is realizing what they have in life is better than they think and they build a friendship on very little.
