Here Lies the Librarian by Richard Peck

This is another Richard Peck book in the tradition of A Year Down Yonder and A Long Way from Chicago. While those two books remain my favorites of this group, this is a worthy successor. Since the protagonist of the story is Peewee, who works with her brother is a car repair shop, this book also deals with gender roles. Peewee is beginning to grow out of her tomboy persona, but remains interested in cars and their mechanics. This is set in the era when cars were still noticed and paid attention to, in all of their newness and glory. The details about the various autos add a lot of fun. An enjoyable read.
