Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Doig's beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old's imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery for "female trouble" in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate-bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical--is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German (as Donal discovers him to be), and Donal can't seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate decides to pack him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But to Donal's surprise, he's not traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way. Charming, wise, and slyly funny, Last Bus to Wisdom is another treasure of a novel from the best storyteller of the West"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Large type books 650 0 $a Boys $v Fiction 650 0 $a Uncles $v Fiction 650 0 $a Travelers $v Fiction 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Coming of Age $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Cultural Heritage $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Road fiction $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Bildungsromans $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Cover image $u 9781594632020.jpg 941 $a 3 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012654.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011605.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20160304010632.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE88FC20E1D611E59B37A7B1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
