Me and Rupert Goody by O'Connor, Barbara. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780374448042.

Although Uncle Beau isnt really Jennalees uncle, he might as well be. She spends most days helping out at his general store, and Uncle Beau always knows just what to do or say to make Jennalee feel better. But then a stranger comes to town--a strange stranger who lays a claim to Uncle Beaus heart in a way that Jennalee cant, because he says hes real family, blood family. Thats Rupert Goody, taking the predictable out of things, and turning Jennalees life upside down. Although Uncle Beau isnt really Jennalees uncle, he might as well be.
