(3) 4-6 In 1974, Theo moves to Destiny, Florida, "the Town Time Forgot," and makes friends with baseball-loving Anabel. At Miss Sister Grandersole's Rest Easy Rooming House and Dance Academy, Theo, whose real name is Thelonius Monk Thomas, continues to develop his piano skills, although his abusive Vietnam-veteran uncle disapproves. Well-developed characters and a charming small town are at the heart of this sweet story.
