Thanks for sharing this book - even with the graphic descriptions ("chocolate milk"), I find it hard to imagine what it must have been like to live through that time. The horrific calamity that overtakes Billie Jo's family makes me shudder. Life can change so quickly; I guess it's a good reminder to be thankful for what we have.
Here's another copy of this book on my bookshelf, and here's a third.
I'll be sending this on its way soon with a new bookmark. :)

got a few weeks ago. backlogged w/ books at the moment, but will hopefully get to it after the holidays!
interesting account of the harsh life of america's dust bowl during the 30's. at first i thought i was really going to hate the free verse style, but it was appropriate to the setting and the story and made the book a quick read.
Arrived home on Friday. Thanks for seeing is along its journey everyone.
