The sequel to the beloved Newbery Honor Book, Belle Prater's Boy

Since Belle Prater inexplicably disappeared about a year ago,
her son, Woodrow, and his cousin Gypsy have been searching
for answers. Then, on the stroke of midnight on Woodrow's
birthday, the phone rings. No one is at the other end of the
line, but Woodrow is certain it was his mama. They find out
that the call was placed from nearby Bluefield, and set out to
see if they can track her down. Joining them is Cassie
Caulborne, the new girl in school, who is endowed with the gift
of second sight. Unfortunately, they can find no trace of Belle.
Once again, Woodrow realizes that perhaps even worse than
not knowing where she is, is not understanding why his mama
would leave him.

How Woodrow, Gypsy, and Cassie come to understand the
truth, and Woodrow eventually finds Belle, fills this oftrequested
sequel to Belle Prater's Boy with magic and suspense.
