But as the son of a single father working in warehouses across the Pacific Northwest, Charley's been pretty much on his own. When tragic events leave him homeless weeks after their move to Portland, Oregon, Charley seeks refuge in the tack room of a run-down horse track. Charley's only comforts are his friendship with a failing racehorse named Lean on Pete and a photograph of his only known relative. In an increasingly desperate circumstance, Charley will head east, hoping to find his aunt who had once lived a thousand miles away in Wyoming - but the journey to find her will be a perilous one. In LEAN ON PETE, Willy Vlautin reveals the lives and choices of American youth like Charley Thompson who were failed by those meant to protect them and who were never allowed the chance to just be kids. 541 $d 20210310. 650 $a Race horses $v Fiction. 650 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 $a Teenage boys $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Dreams $v Fiction. 650 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 651 $a Oregon $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20210706010645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7691BCF0DE1F11EB9DC81CE61FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
