There don't seem to be that many books about the Dust Bowl and migrant workers during the Depression, at least for kids. Bonus for this one--it was published in 1940, when these experiences and stories were still quite fresh.

Janey is really just waiting for a place she can call home. More than anything I've read about this time period, this book captures how hard it must have been for kids to always be on the move. She wants to make friends and belong but she can't--because they'll have to move.

A charming book that was very satisfying.
