Man - o - man, these were some strong people. ( ) The meaning of true friendship comes out after12-year-old Sadie's family is forced to sell their farm and move to Texas to look for work. She had promised her best friend, Wilma, that she'll remain true but when a crisis faces Sadie and her family she learns that "a friend in need is a friend indeed" and that sometimes promises can't be kept. Twelve-year-old Sadie and her family are forced by drought and the Depression to flee the Dust Bowl of Missouri for coastal Texas, in hopes of a better life through the fishing industry. The journey south is demanding as the family picks cotton and wash in cattle troughs, and life in the fishing village proves not much better as they live in a one-room shack and Sadie endures continuous bullying from a young snob. She struggles with the loss of her old life and friendships left behind, but the challenges of survival lead Sadie to question what is truly important in life. The author's vivid descriptions and complex characters create a unique and informative presentation of the Great Depression geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
