I was wrong; this story had me as soon as I opened it and saw the old photos of the author's family on the endpapers. Of course, I wanted to learn more about these folks. I should not have been surprised by how much I liked this book. When I read about the author at the end of the book, I discovered that Jonah Winter is the author of Here Comes the Garbage Barge!, another book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whether your curious about the Great Depression or not, you will like this book.(less)
