And looking after Alfond isn't easy--he throws up all the time, and wrecks her things, and almost gets eaten by a tiger at the circus. Francine's recipe for joy at first involves finding a way to get herself to Atlanta too, but when that doesn't work out, she realizes that joy can be found in the most surprising places if you give it a chance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Beverley Brenna's Francine is an unforgettable heroine in the tradition of Clementine, Harriet M.
