On a quiet autumn afternoon in 1944, nine-year-old Morris Bird III
decides to visit a friend who lives on the other side of town. So he
grabs the handle of his red wagon and, with his little sister in tow,
begins an incredible pilgrimage across Cleveland . . . and out of
childhood forever.
Set against the backdrop of one of the worst industrial disasters in
American history, Don Robertson's enduring, beloved masterwork is a
remarkable story of destiny, bravery, and responsibility, as fresh and
relevant as when it first appeared in print.
