Moon over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool

Once again I am reviewing a Newbery award winning book.  I loved it.  I saw that other reviewers were upset that there is alcohol use, but hey, it takes place during prohibition, and she is an abandoned child whose father rides the rails.  This story has an intricately weaved story that is slowly revealed page by page.  Although the protagonist is a girl, I think that both boys and girls would enjoy this story.  Good to the last word!
