Elephants, Aunts, and the Moon Sarah Frances Currier

It's 1969, and sisters Emily and Katherine know one thing for certain: they are about to have THE WORST SUMMER OF THEIR LIVES. Their parents are getting divorced, and their mom has gone back to school, which means the girls are stuck for six whole weeks in boring Henderson, Minnesota with their great aunts, Loretta and Minerva. Older sister Emily can't believe she has to spend her twelfth birthday far away from her friends. Younger sister Katherine is afraid that the spinster aunts won't know how to get along with children. But a lot can change in six weeks. As the nation anxiously awaits the moon landing, the sisters learn that there is more to Henderson-and the Aunts-than meets the eye. A collection of elephant figures in the Aunts' living room unravels a secret that might just change everyone's lives forever.
