Tommy Trouble and the Magic Marble

47 pp. | Holt | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6387-0 $$16.00
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Ben Caldwell. Mean Spencer Ross offers to sell his crystal mumbo jumbo marble to Tommy for ten dollars. Tommy ponders a number of schemes to obtain it, including peddling flowers to a neighbor and swapping a garter snake for the marble. The story line, like the accompanying line art, seems dated and rather bland, but the relationship between Tommy and his tagalong brother Bradley is appealing.
