Wise Marie : The Lil Ladybug and A Nugget From Heaven
Book 2 of 3: Wise Marie & The Little LadyBug Collection
5.0 Stars on Amazon
It’s the summer of 1979, and Marie is heading back to Wisconsin for another summer with her best friend Anne and her little brother Joey. They live in a tiny town near Lake Superior, where the population is just 4,358. It’s the kind of place where kids play outside until the streetlights come on, milk still comes in glass bottles, and the local veterinarian is also the town doctor.
Anne’s dad, Mr. Meeger, is a mechanic with a backyard full of bikes—banana seat bikes, cruisers, and skinny-seat bikes he’s salvaged and rebuilt. He makes sure every kid in town has a bike to ride. Anne, Marie, and Joey spend their summers riding through town, racing down hills, and exploring places they’re probably not supposed to be.
