A Castle On Viola Street

This warm, vibrant tale is inspired by the author's own experiences with a community group. Andy is used to his family's small, run-down apartment, but when he hears about an organization that turns abandoned houses into homes, he sees an opportunity his family cannot miss. Full-color illustrations.

Andy is so used to his family's small, run-down apartment that he has never imagined living anywhere else--especially not in a new house with a garden and a porch. Such houses seem like castles to him.

But when he hears about an organization that turns abandoned houses into homes, he discovers that his castle isn't in the clouds--it's on Viola Street. And with some hard work and community caring, it could be his very own.

DyAnne DiSalvo combines new faces with familiar ones from earlier stories in this warm, vibrant tale about the good things that come when a whole family pitches in to make a better life for themselves.
