商品描述内容简介A runaway's fearless determination is brought to vivid life in this timeless adventure
Forced to flee his home by a cruel aristocrat, 13-year-old Leo must leave his poverty-stricken family behind and make his way through war-torn Poland in 1870. From encounters with greedy soldiers, to befriending a fellow runaway, to becoming a thief on the city streets, Leo is forced to grow up quickly. His only mission now is to find a new place to call home and earn what he needs to save the family he left behind. He has heard of a such a place across the sea, and desperately searches for a way to reach America...
"I've just done something I've never done before in half a century in publishing: sat down and read a story from first to last all in one session.[Walk the Wild Road]is more than a page-turner, it's a grip-you and hold-you yarn all the way from its opening paragraph. " -Malcolm Macdonald
