<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rylant's very first novel tells the story of 11-year-old Ellen Farley, who during the year sees a favorite uncle leave for war, makes a best friend, and gets her first kiss. As she anticipates her 12th birthday, she whispers "some year" into the ear of her beloved beagle, Bullet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>an amazing year</b> <br> 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. <br> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Cynthia Rylant is the author of more than 100 books for young people, including the beloved Henry and Mudge, Annie and Snowball, Brownie & Pearl, Motor Mouse, and Mr. Putter & Tabby series.
