Very good book that adults can easily enjoy, despite it being a children's novel.
Taking from the surprise paperback bookbox. Thanks
The Mighty Miss Malone
Author: Christopher Paul Curtis
"We are a family on a journey to a place called Wonderful." That's the motto of the Malone family of Gary, Indiana. Twelve year old Deza Malone is the smartest student in her class, told by her teachers that she's destined for a special path in life. Her older brother, Jimmie, is no angel, but he can sing like one, and when he does people stop to listen. The Great Depression has hit Gary hard, and there are few jobs - especially for black men like Mr. Malone. After their father leaves Gary to find work, Deza, Jimmie and their mother set out in his wake, always holding hope that they will catch up to him. The pluck with which the endearing, sometimes comical Deza faces the twists and turns of the family's journey proves that she truly is the Mighty Miss Malone
