Publisher Description
True: Delly Pattison likes surpresents (presents that are a surprise). The day the Boyds come to town, Delly's sure a special surpresent is on its way. But lately, everything that she thinks will be good and fun turns into trouble. She's never needed a surpresent more than now.
True: Brud Kinney wants to play basketball like nothing anybody's ever seen. When the Boyds arrive, though, Brud meets someone who plays like nothing he's ever seen.
True: Ferris Boyd isn't like anyone Delly or Brud have ever met. Ferris is a real mysturiosity (an extremely curious mystery).
True: Katherine Hannigan's first novel since her acclaimed Ida B is a compelling look at the ways friendships and truths are discovered.
It's all true ( . . . sort of).

“Hannigan’s strengths are in a richly conveyed setting, with much of the novel taking place outdoors, and in her ability to depict a potentially unappealing main character as well as several secondary characters with tremendous compassion. Delly’s profound change in her approach to the world is completely believable, and very touching.”

Quotes
-
“Leaves the reader with many thoughts about how we see ourselves, how we think others see us, how we hide within ourselves, what it means to be a ‘hummin bin,’ and the importance of trust and friendship in our lives. Hannigan has given her readers a real ‘surpresent.’”
— Children’s Literature
