Little Hobo's Travels is the story of The Great Depression and how Michael Howell, a young boy, is sent to live with his grandmother in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, because his father lost his job. After his father falls while trying to get into a boxcar, Michael finds himself alone and soon takes up with Wilbur and Jake, two experienced hobos. While traveling to Pennsylvania, the three have many exciting adventures--almost getting smothered by cotton seed, meeting some unscrupulous gypsies, being chased by railroad bulls, and many more. Along the way, Jake and Wilbur teach Michael the ins and outs of riding the rails and living the life of a little hobo.Readers young or old will find humor, love, adventure, danger, and heroism in this children's adventure and will enjoy the many illustrations that bring the story to life.

Zeke Wappinger, a precocious, bright and adventurous almost seven-year-old boy, gets fed up with his workaholic and technology-obsessed parents and decides to hop a freight train in the middle of the night from his small hometown in New Mexico. He is immediately befriended by two hobos and goes on a life-changing journey. More life-changing, however, is the effect it has on his parents, his two adult hobo companions and the various people who get sucked into the vortex of his adventure. The Six-Year-Old Hobo is a story of relationships, redemption and fate and will appeal to readers of all ages.
