Brooklyn, Bugsy, and Me

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. Sam and his mother, an out-of-work widow in depressed postwar West Virginia, travel north to stay with Gramps in Brooklyn. Sam doesn't know what to make of his new home, and he's uneasy around his grandfather--unaccountably called "Bugsy" by everyone. This is the perfect candidate for the "skinny books" collection: it's short, easy reading that is both well developed and satisfying.
