This is a great road-trip novel, with a wonderful child character, Billy Watson, who accompanies his 18-year-old brother Emmett on a journey, first by car, then by freight train after Emmett's buddies from a work farm "borrow" his Studebaker. It's a great adventure story set in June 1954, with superb characterization. Though I was forewarned of some tragedy, there was a little more than I expected.
