About this book
Narrated by asthmatic eleven-year-old Reuben Land, this warm American novel follows a family whose quiet Minnesota life is broken open when his older brother vanishes after a violent night. With their father, a janitor whose small miracles are witnessed but never explained, and Reuben's fiercely bookish younger sister composing epic verse along the way, the family sets out across the frozen Badlands in a converted Airstream to find him. Part road journey, part tall tale, part meditation on faith, loyalty and forgiveness, it blends plain-spoken tenderness with real suspense, and keeps its wonder firmly rooted in an ordinary, snowbound, believable world.
