Gitty and the Gift of Gab

“Gitty,” said my teacher, Mrs. Sassoon. “Please come up to the board and solve this fraction problem.” “I can’t go up to the board. You see, I was riding my bike when this black car came skidding up. Then I fell up the stairs — really! — and hurt my leg. And that’s why I can’t go to the board.” Nine-year-old Gitty Eisenberg is known as Gabby Gitty because she loves to talk. She has a knack for making her friends laugh, and she’s her mother’s favorite dishwasher. But when her older brother gets sick, life gets complicated. Hop along with Gitty as she spies on the housekeeper, organizes a parlor meeting, and searches for a very precious gift.
