Waiting for Augusta

Waiting for Augusta

From the author of <i>The Actual & Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher </i>and <i>Nooks & Crannies</i> comes a “whimsical, heartwarming,” (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) and profound tale of love, loss, and family.<BR><BR>Eleven-year-old Benjamin Putter has a lump in his throat, and he’s certain it’s a golf ball. He knows it sounds crazy, but everything’s been topsy-turvy since his father died last month. And he doesn’t know how to fix it.<BR> <BR>Then, one day, something starts tugging at Ben, telling him to hurry to Augusta, Georgia—home of the most famous golf course in the world.<BR> <BR>Ben might be going a little crazy, but escaping Hilltop, Alabama, sounds like a darn good idea. (And just maybe it will make that lump go away.) As he makes his way to Augusta, Ben partners up with a mysterious runaway named Noni, and they embark on a journey full of strange and wonderful surprises—and possibly magic—at every turn.
