Book Description
Life wasn't fair. As soon as you thought you were safe, someone pulled the rug out from under you. And there you were, back on the train, going to the very place you thought you'd left for good.
Gordy couldn't be less happy about moving back to his old hometown of College Hill, Maryland, where everybody knows his family's troubled history. In North Carolina, Gordy's life was finally on the right track. Back in College Hill, Gordy and his sister, June, must move into a cramped apartment with their brother stu and his new family. The principal at Gordy's school has it in for him, his pals encourage him to cause trouble, and his old rival, Elizabeth, can't see that he's changed. The whole world seems to be against Gordy. Is Gordy destined to slip back into his old trouble-making ways for good?

As Ever, Gordy,
By A Customer
This review is from: As Ever Gordy (Paperback)
Do you like comedy and realistic stories? If so, Mrs. Hahn has the book for you. Mrs. Hahn pays exquisite attention to the smallest details. In this book, Gordy's grandmother, with whom he lives, dies, sending him to live with his brother Stewart. He lives with Stewart in the town that he used to live in, before he moved in with his grandmother. This book is the exciting and amazing story of him reengaging friendship with old friends, and establishing a life in his old town, College Hill. Read this book, to see what will happen to Gordy in this wonderful tale from Mary Downing Hahn. I would strongly recommend this book to any one who wants a good humored, and well written book to read.
