content: The book out of the Dust is a novel by karen Hesse. This book is about a girl named Billie Jo and her family. Through this book Bille Jo explanes what it is like living in the dust bowl.This book teaches you alot about how the life on a farm during the 1920`s and 30`s in the panhandle during the dust bowl. Even though this book is fiction there is alot true facts in it. The author did alot reaserch to get the facts.I really like that it is written in poem form. It makes the read alot faster and more interesting.I real like the the sections winter of 1934,summer of 1935 and autumn1935. I really dont like the summer of 1934.Overall this book is pretty good.
