Travels With Rainie Marie

Travels With Rainie Marie is about a twelve-year-old girl named Rainie Marie Greene. Her mother's friend Mr. Sugar just died, and she is going through a hard time, so she decides to send Rainie Marie and her five siblings (Samuel, Kenneth, Louise, Little Belli, and Baby Eddie) to their Great-Gran Gardenia's house in Beacon. However the children are upset because their mother often sends them away like this and they just want to stay home and be with her. Then their Aunt Castina (a.k.a. Aunt Awful) comes up with a plan to divide Rainie Marie and her brothers and sisters all across the country. Will they ever be able to go home again? Or will they spend the rest of their lives far away from home - and each other?
