(3) 4-6 Left at a gas station by their unstable father, sisters Liberty, twelve, and Billie, eight, try to hide their lack of a guardian as they move through the Southwest; interspersed flashbacks reveal details of their backstory. Liberty is strongly characterized by her unwavering sense of responsibility, and her smart survival strategies should keep pages turning (even if her end goal is vague).
