A moving coming-of-age story from three-time Newbery Medal winner
Zilpha Keatley Snyder The tenth day of June in the year of Our Lord,
1907. Mehitabel Carlton Hartwick becomes invisible . . .
Eleven-year-old Carly Hartwick lives a life of adventure on her
family’s ranch in Santa Luisa. No one has a clue about her secret
life—not her strict father, her ailing, distracted mother, her older
sister, or her older brother. Carly shares her adventures with her
faithful dog, Tiger, and documents their exploits in her journal. She
loves visiting her aunt Mehitabel and hearing the story of her Chinese
servant’s danger-filled immigration to California during the gold
rush. And soon she and Tiger have a real-life mystery to solve: Who
bombed a float during the annual Fourth of July parade? This fateful
summer and fall, two tragedies will test Carly’s courage and forever
alter her views on life and death. Culled from Snyder’s mother’s
memories of growing up in this slice of rural Southern
California, And Condors Danced introduces a heroine with a big
imagination and an even bigger heart. This ebook features an extended
biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
