(3) YA In the 1930s Dust Bowl, Jack and his two neighbors steal a truck and head for East Texas after sandstorms decimate their land and lead to their parents' deaths. Bumbling along road and rail, the trio meets notorious bank robbers, friendly hoboes, a deranged sheriff, and a peculiar carnival strongman. Quirky characters and authentic-sounding, dialect-heavy narration make for an insightful historical road novel.
