Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt

3.0

Overall, I enjoyed listening to this, which I think ended up on my TBR strictly because it won the Newbery. I skimmed through some reviews and I’m very glad to see that I’m not the only one who couldn’t figure out when exactly this was supposed to be set. There were a handful of cringey scenes and antiquated (misogynistic) ideas. I’m not upset that I read it but I don’t know that I would ever recommend it.
