Dancing In Cadillac Light
by Kimberly Willis Holt

Grandpap’s moving in and Jaynell must share a room with her sister, Racine. Jaynells’ life now includes spying, driving lessons and Racine dancing in the light of the Cadillac.
Grandpap is a pretty incredible person. Giving away his home and then to see how that affects his family was an intriguing read.

Well, this was a book I had to read for school, so I wasn't expecting much. Surprisingly, it was a very heartfelt book. I think I cried!
This is just a simple book, but I liked it so much! I laughed and cried. Very good.
Best Newbery winner that I have read on a long time! Very funny!
Don't believe the title it realy doesn't mean anything in the book
1968, a 12 yr life changes when her grandad comes to visit.
Difficult to read with 6th grade, slow moving.
It's great so far!
