On his way, he learns to build sod houses, <br />harvest wheat, build a barn, grow a garden, and work in <br />the navy. He also does exiting things like hopping <br />trains! But when he finally reaches where his brother <br />was, he's not there. Now Oliver has to relocate him! <br />Will he ever find him?<br /><br />This book was very good because it was interesting to <br />learn about the early 1900's. Although it was an easy <br />reader, all the facts were true because Oliver was the <br />author's grandfather! I would highly suggest reading the <br />first book, "Fly Little Bird, Fly" first so you can find <br />out more about the orphan train; it was a little confusing <br />because I haven't read it. Other than that, I loved this <br />book!<br /><br />Reviewer Age:14<br />Reviewer City, State and Country: Gearhart, Oregon United StatesFlamingnet Young Adult Book Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09622925590832343578noreply@blogger.com
