Nothing ever happens in Fayette, South Carolina.

That's what Popeye thinks, anyway.

His whole life, everything has just been boring, boring, boring.

But things start to look up when the Jewells' Holiday Rambler makes a wrong turn and gets stuck in the mud.

After I put my son to bed, I jump on the computer and check my email and catch up on the blogs I follow. One of those blogs is Barbara O'Connor's Greetings From Nowhere.

How can there only be 5 reviews of this delightful book?!?! We need to give this book more attention!

Popeye lives in a small town with his grandmother and no-good-do-nothing uncle. Life is boring.
