Woodrow isn't as forthcoming as Gypsy hopes, yet he becomes more than just a curiosity to her-- during their sixth-grade year she finds that they have enough in common to be best friends. Even so, Gypsy is puzzled by Woodrow's calm acceptance of his mother's disappearance, especially since she herself has never gotten over her father's death. When Woodrow finally reveals that he's been keeping a secret about his mother, Gypsy begins to understand that there are different ways of finding the strength to face the truth, no matter how painful it is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBelle Prater's Boy\u003c\/i\u003e is a 1996 Boston Globe - Horn Book Awards Honor Book for Fiction and a 1997 Newbery Honor Book.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Square Fish","offers":[{"title":"Belle Prater's Boy | Ruth White | Quality | 9781250005601 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1562829","offer_id":48163423518872,"sku":"1562829","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71S73lDKu2L.jpg?v=1771882956","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/belle-praters-boy","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
