A good read about a boy that was at a juvenile center that gets taken back home to his farm in NE because his father passed away and there is only a younger brother left. Their mom had left years before. The warden drives him back & leaves him there to sort of pick up the pieces. There were two stowaways in the trunk of the car too from the center. Emmett the boy returning home and his brother Billy also find out that they are losing the farm to the bank and will be forced to move on. Emmett has a car he had bought before being sent away and also gets a stash of money left to him. Well the other two join up and talk them into heading to New York to get one of the others inheritance so they can all start a new life. Then the real quest begins--the other two steal the car & drive on to New York. Emmett and Billy jump a train and with some very timely help travel to New York too. Eventually the neighbor's daughter Sally gets to New York too--she was tired of taking care of her dad and family and decided to track down Emmett. A good story but long at times. Too many points were just sort of unbelievable how they catch up to each other and how things work out. Overall though not bad but it is a long book.
There are around 159 WL for this book last I checked so I will post & mail off on PBS at some point but no hurry on this.
