Description
Master storyteller Patricia C. McKissack transports us to the front porch–a place where lightning bugs flash, lemonade is poured, and tales about slickster-tricksters are an every-night treat for the whole family to enjoy.
Here you can listen to “porch lies”–tales filled with humor and exaggeration–about characters like:
·A one-of-a-kind trickster, Dooley Hunter, who tells such a whopper at the State Liars’ Contest that it becomes known as the best lie ever told.
·A downright wily individual by the name of Noble “Cake” Norris, who some folks believe may have died twenty-seven times.
·A little old lady slickster folks call Aunt Gran, who comes face to face with Frank and Jesse James, the two most notorious outlaws in America.
Rich in African American history, these unforgettable tales range from sidesplittingly funny to spine-chillingly spooky. So hop on the porch swing and listen up–there’s a story just starting. . . .

- bioText: Award winning author Patricia McKissack comes from a family of skilled storytellers, who taught her to listen and observe and who encouraged her life-long love affair with words. The Dark Thirty: Southern Tales of the Supernatural was a 1993 Newbery Honor Book. Pat also received the Coretta Scott King Award in 1993 for The Dark Thirty. Pat wishes she could have talked to her hero, Frederick Douglass, about his rise from slavery, his daring escape, and freedom — at last! If she was not an author, Pat would like to be an interior designer or an architect so she could tell stories through design.
Pat frequently collaborates on books with her husband, Fredrick. They have three sons and live in St. Louis, Missouri. - name: Patricia McKissack
