In The Summer of Stanley Molly gets an unusual, and not particularly welcome, gift for her ninth birthday, a goat named Stanley. Molly had really wanted a bicycle like her friend Annie had. It was 1945. Molly's Mama wasn't happy because Daddy was off fighting in the war. Grandpa's gift of Stanley caused endless trouble: Stanley climbed on the car and left dents in the hood; he ate Mama's Victory Garden, the dictionary, and their neighbor's new dress.
The only one who was thrilled with Stanley was Molly's little brother, Tyler. That was until the day Stanley and Tyler went fishing together.
