Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool

Well deserved winner of the 2011 Newbery Award.

Excellent writing, captivating story.

For a few years it seemed a book couldn't be a Newbery Award winner unless it was drenched in the Depression or a depressing topic. That got old fast for me. This book takes place during the Depression, but the time period is a setting, not the theme of the book.

I loved it.
