The Grudge Keeper
by Mara Rockliff
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Emotions: Bitterness, Spiteful
To get them off their hands, Bonnyripple residents deliver all their grudges to old Cornelius, the Grudge Keeper, for safe keeping. When a huge windstorm blasts through town, the townspeople find that all their grudges have been mixed and mashed together without any semblance of order and retrieval. They become embittered and possessive, looking for their grudges, until one boy realizes that the Grudge Keeper has been buried underneath the huge pile.
With an antiquey, Lemony-Snicket-like artwork, Rockliff encourages discussion about holding grudges with a rich (sometimes overwhelming) array of vocabulary.
