Black Hills of South Dakota, 1967.
For 10-year-old Susan and her classmates, the three space-age coats hanging in the window of the Children's Shop were the most beautiful things to ever arrive in their remote little mining town. Susan desperately wishes for the most beautiful of the three in psychedelic blue. But when her dream actually comes true, the scrappy little tomboy soon learns the hard way that there can be serious disadvantages to wearing the most recognizable coat in town!
First, the new blue coat turns one of her snooty classmates green with envy - and while it's sticks and stones that break your bones, the girl's words still hurt. But cruel words are nothing compared to the knee-buckling terror of being singled out by a much older high school bully who threatens to deliver a pounding that Susan will never forget. Susan learns that when you're surrounded by fear, you have to find creative solutions and eventually confront the danger. When Susan is finally forced to face her nemesis, she learns that standing out is sometimes the first step to really fitting in.
The Story of the Blue Fur Coat is the first in the Endersubee Misadventures by Susan Enderby, a heartwarming and nostalgic tale about navigating childhood in a unique little mining town, the struggles of dealing with a bully, and having no one to turn to, and embracing who you really are. Fun and fast-paced, this is the perfect read for kids aged 10-12.
