Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Entertaining and emotionally resonant." --Kirkus Reviews "Long nails the voice of a kid trying as hard as she can to tackle adult problems on her own when the well-meaning adults in her life fall short." --Publishers Weekly Josie Bloom is put to the test when she's confronted by mysterious wads of money, a washed-up baseball player, and a whole lot of squirrels in this hilarious and heartwarming novel in the spirit of Kate DiCamillo's Raymie Nightingale. Josie Bloom discovers the first wad of money stuffed inside a packet of bologna, and the second hidden between the trash can and the bin liner. That money comes in handy when she finds the PAST DUE notice from the heating company. Seems like Grandpa has been spending more time feeding squirrels than paying the bills. But when a bill arrives that's too big to handle, Josie's going to need a plan to get more money--while keeping Grandpa's odd behavior a secret. Hilarious and heartwarming, Josie Bloom and the Emergency of Life celebrates the lengths family and friends will go to when it looks like the squirrels are winning. In 1977, middle-schooler Josie secretly takes on her aging grandfather's financial problems while also helping her friend Winky bail his Major League Baseball idol out of the town jail.
