an amazing year Ellie Farley''s father, Okey, drinks too much, mostly because he hasn''t been able to work since he was injured in a mining accident. He hasn''t been able to hunt, either, so it''s strange when he brings home a hunting dog, a beagle named Bullet. But Bullet is only the first odd thing that happens to Ellie the year she''s eleven. She sees a favorite uncle go off to war; a boy in her class has a fit in the middle of geography and another is accidentally killed while target shooting; and Okey drives his Chevy pickup off the mountain, with near-tragic consequences. But still Ellie manages the ordinary pleasures of making a best friend and getting kissed for the first time -- it''s no wonder she confides to Bullet on her twelfth birthday, "Some year."

Mr Putter knows what he likes, and dancing is not on the list. But his neighbour Mrs Teaberry has been watching ballroom dancing on TV! She talks the reluctant Mr Putter into coming along for an evening at the Crystal Ballroom, along with fine cat Tabby and good dog Zeke, of course. The ballroom is full of sparkles - and surprises. What a wonder.
