Description and Reviews
As in Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach, Polly Horvath tells the story of an abandoned child who is sent to live with two distant relatives in a big, lonely house. What starts out as a fairly grim proposition transforms as Ratchet befriends the endearing, downright hilarious 91-year-old twins Aunt Tilly and Aunt Penpen who are “as different as chalk and cheese” and learns the ways of rural Maine. summarized from Amazon.comSubject
Notes
- Thirteen-year-old Ratchet spends a summer in Maine with her eccentric great-aunts Tilly and Penpen, hearing strange stories from the past and encountering a variety of unusual and colorful characters.

Welcome
This is the April 2008 upgrade of Cook Memorial Library’s new website, in development by Scriblio. It’s a brand new model for libraries, constructed to be interactive throughout, and to give website users the same opportunity for give-and-take that’s one of the joys of visiting our physical library on Tamworth’s Main Street.
If this is your first visit to the new site, please go to the HELP link. It will show you how to navigate the website. Please feel free to comment. Our automation system, INFOCENTRE, can be accessed directly for RESERVES & RENEWS, and creating reading lists. -
