Onion John by Joseph Krumgold

God, this book is so weird!
I loved it.
It's about a boy who befriends an adult Eastern European immigrant in small town New Jersey in the 60s.
I loved that I went into this book cold. It unfolded in a way I really didn't expect and I feel like childrens' lit is so homogenized now that there just aren't many books like this.
