This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger

This was a powerful, Huckleberry Finn like tale, Set in the midst of the depression, Odie and his crew of vagabonds escape life at Lincoln School and start on an adventure like no other. The story of these 4 runaway orphans will take you on an adventure you are not likely to soon forget. This story is over 400 pages but ended up being a quick read. It is well researched and seeping with history and yet give the reader a great tale to hold on to. Overall this is a great read!
