Story
From the author of Newbery Medal winner Moon Over Manifest comes the odyssey-like adventure of two boys’ incredible quest on the Appalachian Trail. When Jack Baker’s father sends him from his home in Kansas to attend a boys’ boarding school in Maine, Jack doesn’t know what to expect. Certainly not Early Auden, the strangest of boys. Early keeps to himself, reads the number pi as a story, and refuses to accept truths others take for granted. Jack, feeling lonely and out of place, connects with Early, and the two become friends.

Story
"When Poppy Wainwright's grandmother dies, she travels from her home in Arkansas to live with her grandmother's older sister, Sookie, in Savannah, Georgia. 'Your Grandma Lainey was a self-righteous nit-wit,' Sookie tells Poppy upon their first meeting, 'and if I had the gumption, I'd drive myself up to Mountain Home and spit on her freshly dug grave.' Sookie is everything Poppy's grandmother was not: atheistic, slovenly, suspicious, prone to vendettas, and completely lacking any verbal filter." (Kirkus Reviews)

Fannie's New Orleans house is like no place Ibby has ever been - and Fannie, who has a tendency to end up in the local asylum - is like no one she has ever met. Fortunately, Fannie's black cook, Queenie, and her smart-mouthed daughter, Dollbaby, take it upon themselves to initiate Ibby into the ways of the South both its grand traditions and its darkest secrets.

Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus.

Publisher's Summary
"The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I'd seen only in Gideon's stories: Manifest - A town with a rich past and a bright future."
Abilene Tucker feels abandoned. Her father has put her on a train, sending her off to live with an old friend for the summer while he works a railroad job. Armed only with a few possessions and her list of universals, Abilene jumps off the train in Manifest, Kansas, aiming to learn about the boy her father once was.
Having heard stories about Manifest, Abilene is disappointed to find that it's just a dried-up, worn-out old town. But her disappointment quickly turns to excitement when she discovers a hidden cigar box full of mementos, including some old letters that mention a spy known as the Rattler. These mysterious letters send Abilene and her new friends, Lettie and Ruthanne, on an honest-to-goodness spy hunt, even though they are warned to "Leave Well Enough Alone".
Abilene throws all caution aside when she heads down the mysterious Path to Perdition to pay a debt to the reclusive Miss Sadie, a diviner who only tells stories from the past. It seems that Manifest's history is full of colorful and shadowy characters - and long-held secrets. The more Abilene hears, the more determined she is to learn just what role her father played in that history. And as Manifest's secrets are laid bare one by one, Abilene begins to weave her own story into the fabric of the town.
Powerful in its simplicity and rich in historical detail, Clare Vanderpool's debut is a gripping story of loss and redemption.
Critic Reviews
"Ingeniously plotted and gracefully told." (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
“Readers will cherish every word up to the heartbreaking yet hopeful and deeply gratifying ending.” (Kirkus, starred review)
"Replete with historical details and surprises, Vanderpool's debut delights, while giving insight into family and community.” (Publisher's Weekly)

Absolutely Wonderful Family Story
This audiobook is listed as a young reader book, but I beg to differ. It's a wonderful book. Period. It's historical fiction covering the first world war and a time in America's history when immigrants flooded into our country from many other nations abroad. It's a story of the "orphan" trains, and the good and not-so-good people who adopted the children. And most of all it's a tale of one town and one little girl, Abilene that will nestle down deep into your soul and "sit a spell". This book is a jewel. Don't pass it up.

Great YA fiction that grown ups will also love.
As an English teacher in High School, I am always looking for books that my students will enjoy. That being the case, I have listened to and read a great deal of Young Adult fiction, and have found that there are a few basic plot lines that most YA fiction novels follow. This book is one of the few that really breaks the mold. It was rich, entertaining, life-affirming, and very well performed. The story follows a young girl who is looking for her own place in the world. Along the way, she discovers the history of the town of Manifest, her father's history, and a rich cast of characters. Although the story follows a teenage girl, it has murder, bootlegging, spies and mystery and my male students liked it just as much as the girls did. I highly recommend this story, either as a novel or as an audio book for teens and adults.

AWESOME book! LOVED it!
I loved this book! Not only did it hold my interest, but it wove two stories into one in such a way that neither could exist without the other. I could hear the sounds and smell the aromas described in the book. The imagery was well done and so was the character development.
The fact that the audio book used multiple readers to tell the story really added to it as well. While it's won awards for juvenile fiction, the story of longing and love is appropriate for any aged reader.
I have read Water for Elephants, The Help, and the Secret Life of Bees and many similarly good books and I enjoyed this book equally as much!
Do yourself a favor---step back in time and enjoy getting to know Abilene, Jinx and Miss Shady. Moon Over Manifest is a fabulous book!

Highly entertaining
Abilene Tucker is a motherless child (well it is a Newbery winner and I think this is a requirement) her daddy has sent her to Manifest, Kansas where he used to live there she meets some great characters and sets out to find out more about her father as a young man. This book goes back and forth between Abilene’s story during the depression in 1936 and the story of a young man named Jinx and his best friend Ned in 1918.
This was a good coming of age story filled with quirky characters, and a bit of mystery and it gives you a feel of the times both stories are set in. I fell in love with Abilene and Jinx I ended up rooting for them both in their different time lines, the stories melded together very nicely. This was an uplifting story and has a feel good ending. I highly recommend this to the young and old alike it’s highly entertaining historical fiction for all ages.
All the narrators did a great job but with this group of people how could you go wrong!

Wonderful, wonderful audiobook
What did you love best about Moon Over Manifest?
The characters were SO rich, and the narrator was perfection. She gave the lead character such life and depth and pathos that I felt like I knew her and just wanted her to find happiness and her place in the world.
What other book might you compare Moon Over Manifest to and why?
It reminded me a little of Saving CeeCee Hunnicut, another terrific read by the same narrator. Great, strong, realistic young girls who have to get through very tough times as they come of age.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her vocal portrayal of each of the characters absolutely brought them alive. She is such a terrific narrator. I actually did read the book a couple of years ago, I enjoyed the audiobook so much more because of the narrator
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did have a time I cried as she was finding out about one of the lead characters in the backstory
Any additional comments?
This story is definitely worth an audiobook credit!

I rarely leave a written comment, but this book is so very deserving. The reader is amazing and able to carry you on a journey I didn't want to stop. A movie from this tale would be wonderful. This is my best book of 2017...I have over a thousand books in my library and I put this in the top ten. I enjoyed it fully, and hope that you will as well. Loved this experience, I feel as if I know the characters myself.

Very good for a teenager audience
This book was selected for the literature portion of a parochial school academic decathalon among Los Angeles area schools to be held in March 2012. As grandparents. we listened to it with a sense of participation and interest that was fully gratified. We found it a very good story, well suited to a teenage audience, and worthy of its selection.

Best audio book so far!
I love this performance of one of my favourite stories. Jenna Lamia’s story telling is incomparable in its sensitive versatility and a joy to experience. I will definitely hunt out more from her. As to the story itself- as I have already said it is a favourite - a skilfully woven journey of discovered connection and self realisation that warms my heart every time I read it. With cast of characters that illuminates a time and place at times more deftly than any history book.
