Oliver Nordmark has run away from his foster family in search of his brother who was given to a different family. On his way, he learns to build sod houses, harvest wheat, build a barn, grow a garden, and work in the navy. He also does exiting things like hopping trains! But when he finally reaches where his brother was, he's not there. Now Oliver has to relocate him! Will he ever find him?

Opinion: 

This book was very good because it was interesting to learn about the early 1900's. Although it was an easy reader, all the facts were true because Oliver was the author's grandfather! I would highly suggest reading the first book, "Fly Little Bird, Fly" first so you can find out more about the orphan train; it was a little confusing because I haven't read it. Other than that, I loved this book!
