Summary

Set in a small Georgia town during World War II, the Miss Dimple series features Miss Dimple Kilpatrick, longtime first-grade teacher at Elderberry Grammar School. Fastidious in her dress and distinctive in her manner, she is the epitome of small-town graciousness. Life in America during World War II springs vividly to life as Miss Dimple and her fellow townspeople battle valiantly against worry, rationing, and crime at home as well as abroad. It's September 1943, and the town of Elderberry, Georgia, has exciting plans for the Bond Rally to support the troops fighting the war abroad. Miss Dimple's friend, Virginia Balliew, has agreed to chair the big event, with the help of Buddy Oglesby. But when children discover a skeleton at the edge of a field and Buddy disappears along with the war bond money, it's clear that something is very wrong in the little town. Miss Dimple, along with her fellow teachers, must get to the bottom of this sad turn of events
