Helpful Score: 3
This is a gem of a book, reminiscent of Mark Twain in its understated humor and wry look at human nature. Sixteen-year-old Shay Cecil is uprooted from the life he's known when his mother, Mary Margaret, decides to uproot her brood and go in search of her "travelin' man" husband. Along the way, they meet a variety of characters, and Shay learns a lot more about life in general and his family in particular than he ever expected to know.
