Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool
4.0
This was an audiobook I enjoyed while packing away Christmas decorations and working on a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
12-year-old Abilene is sent by her father to spend the summer in Manifest, Kansas. It's 1936, and as she explores her father's hometown, she is also absorbing stories of the town's population, particularly surrounding events 1918, that will lend her insight to better understand her father's actions. The flu pandemic and WWI are addressed through journal entries, newspaper columns, letters, and narrative.
Only after completion did I learn this was my second Vanderpool novel this year (I first read Navigating Early).
