This Tender Land

Okay, right off the top - I did enjoy Huckleberry Finn. But this book reminds me more of Odysseus' travels in The Odyssey. I loved the Minnesota tie-in too. Due to some horrible happenings, four children take to the River, canoeing the Gilead and Minnesota Rivers. They are searching vagabonds who experience a multitude of hardships during their journey to find out who they are or trying to find home. It is a bit long, but I didn't want it to end.
