About the Book

Some people call it "earthquake weather," but during the Great Depression in a suburb just outside of Los Angeles, Joe Hodge knew them as "shaker days." In Joe’s world, such a day foreshadowed more than earthquakes; it meant personal catastrophe was also on the way-after all, Joe’s mother had died on a shaker day. It’s the summer of 1933, and further tragedy, a trio of bullies, first love, and a revealed family secret are about to rock Joe’s world even more. Prepare to be transported to a time when life was hard, Hollywood was glamorous, and a boy discovered the truth. Shaker Days is a riveting tale that will warm your heart long after you’ve reached the end.
