I will eventually take a course where we read many of the books that won the Newberry Medal of Honor. I decided to try to get ahead and read this one. At first, it was just...okay. I'm so glad I was patient with it, though! The characters were endearing, and by the end, I loved the way every part of the story worked together for the twists and turns at the end I didn't see coming.
Imagine if you're living in the depression era and your father, the only family you've ever known, sends you to a strange town to live with a friend of his whom you've never met. What follows is an induction to a strange town with a unique past and a strange cast of characters. From bootlegging, deceit, plague cures, and love and loss, this is an EXCELLENT book!
