My third grade teacher read this story to us for a read aloud because her friend Mary Calhoun was the author. Katie John is a tomboy,uprooted from California by her family to live in a small town in Missouri bordering the Mississippi River. The purpose of the move is for the family to renovate and sell a house bequeathed to Katie John's mother. However life takes Katie John and her family for a hilarious ride as they become the new occupants and eventually new owners of Aunt Emily's home.
Mary Calhoun should continue this series. IT ROCKS!

Katie John is a character I grew up with, and the books about her are filled with fun, adventures, and funny things that happen, while teaching good vurtues. Which is more than I can say for some of the depressing childrens' books in the bookstores and libraries today. The author should keep writing!
Fun reading!

I loved Katie John; she was such a tomboy, and -- being one myself -- I enjoyed watching her get in and out of trouble and excitement. A definite must-read.
A tenacious heroine, scrappy and unique.

Katie John and her folks move into a huge old house. Katie John is into everything, and the fun begins! Don't miss the part where Katie John gets her finger stuck in the speaking hole!I grew up with Katie John, and I can hardly wait for my new copy of this, her first book, to arrive at my house. Katie John is a wide-open, hysterical heroine for kids of all ages!
