One Bubble Off

About the Book

Another one’s quit! And Vicki Williams must abandon her fourth grade students and fly to south Florida to find another caretaker for her mom and her lifetime buddies. Only nine months before, Vicki helped the ornery group escape from Unenchanting Acres and find their own home, their Sugar Shack.

Join in their adventures: when the blind and unlicensed geezers steal the Shack van, when eighty-four-year-old Maggie rekindles a sixty-year-old love affair, when the Judge loses his battle with a live lobster, when tampons become as precious as gold to rich-bitch Pauline. As Vicki establishes her life in Florida and rediscovers love.

This is a gentle, timely story that takes a warm and funny look at how aging could be. Take your medicine and embrace longevity with the old group of friends in One Bubble Off with healthy doses of love, joy and laughter.
