Judy lives in a tent with her family. Will they ever be able to afford a farm with a real house? Ten-year-old Judy and her family are migrants, moving from farm to farm with each new season. Starting in Alabama, they travel to Florida and up the East Coast all the way to New Jersey, always looking for steady work. Every time Judy feels as if they're beginning to put down roots, they have to move on. It's hard for her to catch up in school; it's hard to make and keep friends. Judy likes the people she meets along the way, but she longs for a real home. Will her family ever have a farm of their own? Judy's Journey is a realistic depiction of the life of migrant farm workers in the mid-1900s. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Lois Lenski including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Therefore, I don't think this book will help children grow up to want to support the choices of the migrant & field workers that we still have among us.?á It may help them be less cruel than some of the overseers and town children that the Drummonds encounter, though, so that would be a good thing.?á
It's a rich book in that it does teach a lot.?á It takes place in the east, and has a map. The nods to diversity are interesting.?á For the most part, the "Negroes" have it even worse than the Drummonds.?á There are also some other families, Irish, Japanese, etc.?á There are local field workers, ordinary ppl hired just for the season.?á There are successful migrant families.?á There are teachers both kind and frustrated.?á There is some humor, some adventure, some sorrow.?á Judy is not just a migrant child, but a 10 yo girl who wants to make friends, wants shoes and a dress, and wonders what she'll do when she grows up.?á
Ultimately, though, despite being interesting and engaging, it suffers in comparison to Blue Willow and The Velvet Room, awarded books about the California migrants." ( )
