{"product_id":"gerties-real-life-adventures-jane-dahl-9781606080818","title":"Gertie's Real-Life Adventures","description":"Ten-year-old Gertie Larson shares three of her most exciting real-life adventures experienced in her hometown of Richfield, Utah, in the early 1900s. In her first adventure, her disappointment at not having a birthday party is unexpectedly overcome when she, her two sisters, her best friend, and a mentally handicapped youth she befriends are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride Jumbo the elephant in the circus parade! In her second adventure, a little Ute Indian girl, a \"What I Have to Be Thankful For\" essay contest, and a spooky encounter in an abandoned mine with \"the thing,\" move her story along to the third and final adventure. Gertie's third adventure climaxes her two previous ones and includes a community birthday parade for an unlikely birthday celebrant; Gertie's being the \"volunteer\" in a demonstration of the pain-relieving properties of a new drug, Novocain; and a surprise wedding. Woven throughout Gertie's adventures are lessons of faith, love, and family unity. How these lessons affect Gertie, her family, and her friends make Gertie's Real-Life Adventures joyful reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Dahl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606080814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606080818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Jane Dahl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439818748159,"sku":"9781606080818","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_434d9b84-43fc-4e7b-8d5c-a3bccd1e33a2.jpg?v=1777179411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gerties-real-life-adventures-jane-dahl-9781606080818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
