Tallahassee Higgins

By Mary Downing Hahn

Book Overview

Tallahassee was about as miserable as a twelve-year-old could be. She'd always lived with her beautiful, free-spirited mother, Liz, and she could do anything she pleased-pig-out on junk food, veg-out on TV, forget about homework. Now Liz was off to Hollywood and Tallahassee was dumped off to live with Aunt Thelma-and her "house rules."

It was the worst. Liz promised to get her out of there as soon as she got settled in California. But it was Tallahassee, not Liz, who got settled...in a place where finding out about her mother's past helped her figure out her own future.

VERY REALISTIC ! WONDERFUL BOOK

I am a 25 year old playwright. I just read this book and I regret I hadn't read it when I was in grade school. It was very realstic and Mary Downing Hahn is an amazing author who blends suspense with a bit of horror ( somtimes) and adds a whole twist of reality. I recomend this book to grade school children and adults who haven't read t

The book was outrageous from start to finish!

I liked this book because it was a 12yr old my age,she has just about any problems an average middle schooler has.But her mom couldn't afford to take care of her.Tallahassee was an outgoing, understanding character and she supported friends and family.Now thats why I like this book!

Great!
