(2) 4-6 In the summer of 1933, Sadie Wynn, twelve, and her family leave Missouri and settle on Texas's Gulf Coast in a makeshift community of cardboard houses, supportive neighbors, and the promise of a better life. Everyone sacrifices, but Sadie feels the most slighted of all. Sadie and her family, who not only endure the Depression but emerge stronger from it, are triumphant and memorable.
