This National Book Award winner would appeal to readers of all ages. Narrated by Summer, a Japanese American pre-teen (or tween?) whose family travels the Midwest following work as combine harvesters. Summer is wise beyond her years, brave, compassionate, and observant. This book was funny, and a quick read, though it's also quite intelligent, and I enjoyed learning about wheat harvesting. Really! See for yourself.
