bthegood thx for posting - loved this book - one of Kings works that doesn't get a lot of recognition (or as much as it deserves IMHO) - the story telling in this book is very good (and see the same excellent story telling in the next book for the #LosersClub - Regulators) - The characters are well developed - I feel like I can see them/know them - 3y
TheNeverendingTBR @bthegood The best King book I've read in ages! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3y
HeathHof I really liked this one too! I'm a sucker for horror set in the west. The desolation makes the story all that much creepier. The fact that Tak has control over the creepy crawlers was cool, similar to how dracula controls animals but I liked how S.K. gave us the thoughts that were going through the poor cougars mind as it was doing Taks bidding. Also that ending!😍 3y
TheNeverendingTBR @Mynameisacolour I loved it, I'd definitely read it again. I'm really liking The Regulators so far; have you started it? 3y
HeathHof @TheNeverendingTBR Not yet. I'm trying to finish up Mind Hunter first but I am looking forward to starting it soon! 3y
bthegood @Mynameisacolour good point about the desolation - setting is so important - I think if you liked this you will like Regulators - setting here makes it all seem even more unreal. 😵 3y
GHABI4ROSES Still in the same spot! I got super behind when a good life change hit, so I am using this month to catch up; Green Mile is still fresh in my mind! 3y
CaffeineAndCandy @bthegood @Mynameisacolour @TheNeverendingTBR this was a fun read. There's lots of action. I enjoyed the spirituality of it. And yes, the characters are very well-developed. I can picture them all. 3y

Rudy Rides the Rails: A Depression Era Story | Dandi Daley Mackall, Chris Ellison

This book was a good read, but it's meant for an older audience of children. This book teaches about history and what people had to do to make money for their families.

Historical fiction and was written in 2007. This book is about a young boy looking and working all over the place during the great depression. The book begins with Rudy's family not having any money or any food because his father lost his job. After that Rudy decided he would go and work out west and send money for the family. He worked a lot of jobs and spent time with a few friends on the way.

Rudy Rides the Rails: A Depression Era Story | Dandi Daley Mackall, Chris Ellison

“For a minute, he was back home on his own front porch, with Pa strumming and Ma singing, the smell of honeysuckle mixing with the promise of apple pie from the oven.”

Rudy Rides the Rails: A Depression Era Story | Dandi Daley Mackall, Chris Ellison

This is an important book to have in a classroom because it tells about the Great Depression, which was a very devastating and difficult time for our country. Children need to be aware of this era and how it unfolded.

Genre: Historical Fiction
This is a story about the Great Depression. This is a cool story because although it is based on a very real a true time period of the U.S., the author is able to put a fictional twist on it.
