On Memorial Day, at her tenth birthday party in the garden of her Vermont village home, Alice meets two people unlike any she's known before. Theo is a mixed-race New York City kid visiting his white grandparents for the summer. Kenneth is a cosmopolitan artist with AIDS who has come to convalesce with his middle-aged sister. Alice and Theo form an instant bond and, almost as quickly, find themselves drawn into the orbit of the magisterial Kenneth. When the children begin a daily routine of reading aloud to the artist, who is losing his eyesight, they discover the journals of Lewis and Clark and decide to embark on their own wilderness adventure: they plan and secretly build a "rope walk" through the woods for Kenneth and in the process learn the first of many hard truths about the way adults see the world, no matter that they are often wrong. 600 10 $a Lewis, Meriwether, $d 1774-1809. $t Original journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Girls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship in children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a AIDS (Disease) $x Patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Summer $v Fiction. 650 0 $a People with visual disabilities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Oral reading $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherless families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vermont $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 655 7 $a Books on compact disc. $2 local. 700 1 $a Davis, Elaina Erika. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20160119061538.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=677BC2666C0711DEA13FF332A8D7520AInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
