Gone Crazy in Alabama
by Rita Williams-Garcia
This book is the last of my favorite series and I'm sad that it's over but not disappointed...entirely. This last installment picks up with the Gaither sisters heading to Alabama to see their grandmother and great grandma. There's seemingly nothing to do in the small town but when the girls discover that their great grandma's estranged sister lives across the creek, they soon get caught up in a game of "she said, she said," with Vonetta adding more fuel to the fire.
Okay first off Vonetta infuriated me in this story. Sure she's ten and kids are annoying but the way she picked on Fern and the way she instigated trouble between the family without any consequence, was unnecessarily cruel. I also couldn't stand how hard all the adults were on Delphine. The girl is barely 12, made to look after her sisters and she's constantly blamed for how unruly they are.
I lost a lot of respect for most of the adults when they appeared to shun Delphine when Vonetta ran away. She was made to feel like her reprimanding her and sticking up for her baby sister Fern, was the reason she took off and the way they all acted and the stress that was put on Delphine, actually made me sad for her.
There are also some questions that didn't get answered in this last installment and I would have liked for the story to have focused more on the Gaither sisters versus their great grandma and aunt.
Despite everything, this was still an amazing book and the ending had me on the edge of my seat. I'm sad that I have to say goodbye to the Gaither Sisters but this series will always be my favorite.
