(2) 4-6 Shy Mattie and her mama come to live with Uncle Potluck, the custodian of the school where, in one week, Mattie will enter fifth grade. Mattie helps Uncle Potluck get the school ready and takes a sense of security from keeping her Custodial Wisdom notebook; in doing so, she begins to find her voice. Her slow and painful self-examination is honest and true.
