This was a terrific and very surprising read... I enjoyed this book very much... The stories beginning set in 1847 in Vermont farm lands... The small town poor farm raises a baby found on the West Road... Believed to be a Gypsy baby fallen from a wagon on the way west... But, there isn't anyone who comes to reclaim the baby. Until a stranger comes to town asking questions about the boy Jip... What a surprise you will find when the plot is revealed... An Historical/Fiction... Katherine Paterson has out done herself here... Maybe Jip's Story will become a movie as Terabithia did...dg
