Written by Judy Blume, illustrated by James Stevenson. First edition, 2008. Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children's Books.
Going, Going, Gone! is the third book of Judy Blume's series, The Pain and The Great One. To her brother Jacob Edward, Abigail's the Great One because she thinks she's so great - "I don't think it, I know it!" - and to Abigail, he's the Pain, "even if he lives to be one hundred years old". In this collection of seven funny stories, Abigail, Jacob and parents go to the beach, the mall, a county fair, Grandpa's, and the emergency room.
