Last Bus to Wisdom by Ivan DoigMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ivan Doig is a brilliant, Stegner-like writer. In this book, our narrator is an eleven-year-old boy who is being raised by his grandmother because his parents were killed in a car accident. When Grandma needs surgery, she sends him across the country to Wisconsin to stay the summer with her estranged sister. The bus ride, time with Aunt Kate and Uncle Herman and the trip back west are full of adventure, fun, and trials. Doig has a gift for characterization. I miss the friends I made in this book.
