The Empress of Elsewhere

Jim and his sister Mary Al have been hired for the summer by "Mrs. Million Dillion", the wealthiest woman in their Texas town, to spend time with her granddaughter, J.D. J.D. has an angry attitude a mile wide. But when she's around the Empress — a monkey her late father left her — she acts like someone else. Soon Jim learns more about the J.D. behind the attitude — how her father died, and how much she misses her mother. Then the three come up with a plan to run away and find J.D.'s mom — they learn more about themselves than they could have expected.
