À propos de cet audio
Fourteen-year-old June Baker never in a million years thought she’d be dressing like a boy, sneaking into a hobo camp, and jumping onto a moving freight train to travel across the state of Tennessee.
But, that’s what she has to do to find work so her family’s farm can survive. It’s 1933, and the Great Depression is spreading misery throughout America. Where once June was sitting on top of the world, now she’s carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Once she was picking fruit from the pawpaw trees, and now she’s picking up the pieces of a family torn apart. Once she was climbing and falling from trees, and now she’s jumping from moving trains. June knows the risks. What she doesn’t know is that the railroad bull she’s falling for has a devastating secret that will change the course of her life.
Sitting on Top of the World is an audiobook that middle school and high school teachers can be proud to include in their classroom library or in reading instruction, and it is an audiobook that's loved by both teens and adults.

Step into the Great Depression w/ unshakable June
I was immediately invested in June as a rich character I was able to come alongside and experience life with. Not just any old life, either. June's story is one of growing up during the struggle and heartache of the Great Depression. She is blessed with a close-knit, loving family and it shreds you to bear witness to their unprecedented trials and pain. The author writes in a way that draws you into her well-researched tale so effectively you can feel the growing financial strain; hear the clack of the train wheels; smell June's sweet Mama's cooking, and see the brutality of the Bulls. A must read for sure!
