Hit: Re: Middle : Depression/hobo stories

[Susan Burstein <portland@connix.com>]

Thanks to everyone who forwarded suggestions.  My original question
asked for a substitute title for No Promises in the Wind for a special
ed teacher who felt it was too difficult for the class.

The suggestions received are as follows:
PBS video Riding the Rails
Nowhere to call home by Cynthia Defelice
A Long Way to Chicago by Richard Peck - a novel, but chapters could be
   used individually.
Children of the Dust Bowl
The Gardner by Stewart
and, a mention again of Out of the Dust by Hesse.

A big thank you to all who shared ideas.

Susan
