When the Whippoorwill Calls
"Turn a somersault and make a wish", Pap tells Polly when they hear the first whippoorwill of summer--but wishes don't always come true. If they did, Polly's family wouldn't have to leave their Blue Ridge Mountain home. Inspired by a true story, here is a magical tale of hollers and huckleberries, of wishes and whippoorwills. Full-color illustrations.
