I'd hoped to find a book that would immerse the reader in the Great Depression, especially from a child's point of vies. Seeley Robinson is in her second year of high school, with a perfect set of circumstanced for what I was looking for. But it also adds drama of a mystery and navigating high school and siblings. Seeley Robinson is a great protagonist, a a girl with strong character. I also especially enjoyed the school bus driver.

There are two more books in the series, so I've ordered them too.

I enjoyed reading this book. Did not care for the swear words though.
