Children's Hardcover Book, Foster Mary, Celia Strang, Juvenile Fiction, Literature

A wonderful children's hardcover book called Foster Mary by Celia Strang.

Bud lives with his aunt and uncle and two other children they've chosen to foster, Bennie and Amellia, who have become like siblings to him. They are a migrant family, moving to a new crop location every few months, but all that may change if Uncle Alonzo gets a caretaker job at their latest spot, an apple orchard in Oregon. No one is happier than Aunt Foster Mary when that dream comes true, although coincidentally she also ends up with a new boy to foster, young Lonnie whose parents beat and then left him. Meet the Meekins, a simple family with a common goal, a happy home. Young Bud soon learns that with a little effort the smallest of houses can be such a thing as long as it is filled with family and love.

Book Rating

As New: The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been lost in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old.

Fine: A Fine book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.

Reading Copy: A copy usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
