Description
For a sixteen-year-old boy out in the world alone for the first time, every day's an education in the hard work and boredom of migrant labor. He discovers the secret sadness and generosity to be found on a lonely farm in the middle of nowhere. Then he joins up with a carnival and becomes a grunt, running a ride and shilling for the geek show. By the end of the summer he's pretty sure he knows it all until a girl named Ruby comes into his life.
