Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

Great read-aloud book about two boys during the Great Depression. I say read-aloud for those who may not be able to pick out the great contrasts, forshadowing and subtleties that would be a crime to miss. It's about a three day read-aloud. We talked about our own family history and the depression, how experiences affect behavior and about judging others."
