Beans lives in Key West, an island off the coast of Florida, at the end of a long chain of islands (a real place!). The town looks horrible, tons of piles of rotting seaweed and ownerless dogs, dull and broken houses, kids running barefoot. Life is hard, and Beans is the only man - well, the oldest boy - in the house. Beans cares about his family, and wants the best for his mom, so what jobs can he get to earn some extra money?
What happens when a bunch of men in their underwear - ahem, excuse me, Bermuda shorts - and start cleaning up the city? Why are they doing that?
It sounds a little boring, I know, but it was actually quite a fun book. If you want to find it: Full of Beans by Jennifer L. Holm.
