Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool

4.0

This Newbery Medal winner is a beautiful book set in small-town America during the Great Depression, with flashbacks to the time of World War I. It is a fabulous read, well deserving (in my opinion) of the most prestigious award in children's literature. My only question is if it would appeal as much to children. . . Definitely more for older children and even teens (not because of mature themes, but because of the depth of the story).
