Full of Beans by Jennifer L. Holm


Beans Curry lives in Key West Florida in 1934.  The town is barely hanging on during the Great Depression.  Garbage is piled up everywhere,  the fire stations are closed (except one), there is no electricity around town, dogs are roaming the streets and Beans dad is looking for work....even all the way in New Jersey.  Beans tries to make money selling cans, but Winky pays him less than promised.  Beans makes a decision to work for an "unsavory" fellow, but really makes some good money, but at what cost to Beans?

Good historical fiction with fun mixed in.
