Just Passing Through [Paperback]

Beth Beggs (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

The story unfolds in the 1950s--a time of extreme naivete and intolerance. Abandoned by his parents and five brothers and sisters, Jeff learns to fight the hopelessness of just passing through a world of loneliness, deep feelings of rejection, and a constant longing to be reunited with a family that seems to have forgotten him.

THis book is an outstanding book for people of all ages. I read it to my fourth grade class and they loved every moment. I can't beleive how powerful the ending is, it makes me cry everytime. Beth Beggs needs to write more books like these. She is a legend.
