This year's Newbery winner is a charmer. Abilene Tucker is sent by her father to his hometown of Manifest, Kansas to wait out the summer while he works. Her feelings are overwrought as she attempts to discover why he left her here and what it all means.
When Abilene meets Miss Sadie on the Path to Perdition, Abilene's story and her father's story become intertwined. As Miss Sadie tells the story of two young boys interspersed between the actual happenings of the town, we see the richness of the history and the fullness of the circle between past and present.
A wonderful tale of redemption, love, and the power of healing.
