Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool
Here's another "Wow" ! Moon Over Manifest, Vanderpool's very first novel, won the 2011 Newberry Award-ALA's best book for children-not bad for a new writer!! I love the story within a story- set both in the Depression and WWI. Manifest has wonderful, eccentric, well developed characters. This was the perfect book for me to read while in the hammock...
