pickI really enjoyed this book. Being set in 1950's it embraces the simpler times but often the simpler times became very complicated. Donal, at 11, has to fend for himself for the summer as he criss crosses the west on a Greyhound bus. I thought it felt similar to Lincoln Highway.
pickI‘ve always wanted to read this #Montana author. This adventure is told from the POV of 11-year old, Donal, traveling on the Dog Bus (greyhound) in the summer of 1950 America. It has Tom Sawyer and A Painted House feels. Some vernacular is cringeworthy enough that Donal‘s adult character steps in to apologize for his younger self. I have to forgive this because I‘m seldom a fan of a period piece written with current day mores.
Life can tickle you in the ribs surprisingly when it's not digging it's thumb in.
FINALLY going to finish this one tonight. I can‘t take anymore of #Hester‘s disapproving looks if I don‘t.
