across the country -- where Jimmy's dad will find the man who can

exonerate him of the crime for which he was convicted. Along the

way, Jimmy discovers a lot about his father and himself -- and that

while things can't always be fixed, sometimes they can be

understood and forgiven.

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10-- A

poignant story of motherless, 14-year-old Jimmy Little, whose

convict father takes him on a search for truth, identity, and

family. Whisked away from the stability of a homelife with his

devoted grandmother, Mama Jean, Jimmy confronts the harsh realities

of his father's life on the run. Jailed for his involvement in an

armed robbery and falsely accused of killing a man, Crab escapes

from prison to convince his son of his innocence. What Jimmy

discovers is a man desperate to establish a relationship with his

son but unable to break free of a lifestyle of stealing and moving

on that leaves little room for security. On their highway odyssey,

Crab becomes increasingly sick with a kidney ailment. Following a

climactic encounter with the man who accused him, Crab is again

arrested and hospitalized. For Jimmy, the flicker of hope that he

and his father might work things out becomes a realization that

love is built on trust, concern, and honesty. Through terse

dialogue and characterization, Myers conveys a powerful message

about the need for parent and child to believe in and respect one

another. By story's end, the boy understands that to fully

appreciate someone else's life you must first give meaning to your

own. Whether from urban or rural backgrounds, single or double

parent families, readers will find this universal journey of

self-discovery gratifying. --Gerry Larson, Chewning Junior High

School, Durham, NC

From Kirkus Reviews

An eminent author who's excelled with both tragedy (Scorpions,

1988, Newbery Honor) and funny, lighthearted novels writes in a

serious vein but offers a realistic gleam of hope. Jimmy, 14, has

been raised by his beloved, dependable ``Mama Jean,'' a friend of

parents he doesn't remember; his mother is dead, and his dad,

``Crab,'' is in prison for killing a man in an armed robbery.

Suddenly Crab shows up, claiming that he's on parole and has a job

in Chicago. Jimmy agrees to go with him, but Crab's lies begin to

unravel even before they leave New York: he has kidney failure, and

has escaped from a prison hospital (``When they start operating on

an inmate, I don't know what they'd be thinking''); the job is an

illusion. The two go on to Arkansas, where Crab hopes old friend

Rydell will vouch for his innocence: Crab was convicted of murder

as the result of another associate's plea-bargaining. Rydell, who

once betrayed Crab with his silence, betrays him again by calling

the police; Crab surrenders, then dies soon after in the hospital.

Myers builds a poignant picture here of a failed man whose clumsy

reaching out to his son comes too late to make a real bond. Yet

Crab does leave a legacy: going home to Mama Jean, Jimmy--a bright,

honest, loving boy who has recently been floundering in his

inner-city school and exhibiting signs of real depression--resolves

that the next generation will be different: ``He would know just

how he was like his son...and where their souls touched and where

they didn't.'' Sober, thought-provoking, rich in insight and

detail: another splendid achievement. (Fiction. 12+) --
