Separated by divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother are constantly on the move. Between themselves they develop an almost telepathic trust that sees them through their wanderings from Florida to a small town in Washington State. Fighting for identity and self-respect against the unrelenting hostility of a new stepfather, Toby's growing up is at once poignant and comical. His various schemes--running away to Alaska, forging cheeks, and stealing cars--lead eventually to an act of outrageous self-invention that releases him into a new world of possibility. 600 10 $a Wolff, Tobias, $d 1945- $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hc042/89045733.html 941 $a 12 952 $l NUPD663 $d 20201013112612.0 952 $l PEPC626 $d 20200627011351.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20140514145404.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20110715010630.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20100108080816.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l V5AX173 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $m 813/.54 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CKPA482 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l ATPB046 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l 41SX706 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DCF5D142AED11DE87EC9C06A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
