Title: No Promises In the Wind
Product review: This is a great novel to use as supplemental reading material while teaching about the Great Depression in a seventh or eighth grade classroom. Students will really get an understanding of the devistation the Depression had on people of all ages as they read of the experience these two young boys encountered. Hunt's portrayal of the characters makes the reader feel as if he/she really knows the boys. The reader will begin to feel the characters diappointments and joys as they travel across the United States searching for work. Trust, forgiveness, family, and perseverance are themes that occur throughout the book. These, and the many other themes which occur throughout the book can provide a great basis for discussion in the classroom. This is a book that both boys and girls will enjoy.
