The Mighty Miss Malone

This author writes a lot of historical fiction.  He won a Newbery Medal for his Bud, Not Buddy.  This one is set in the same period, the Great Depression... America in the 1930's.  I fell in love with the characters.  The title character is a bright, fiery young girl.  Her family is forced to move when her father needs work, and find themselves, like many during that period, in a "camp" with others struggling to survive.  I found it a bit slow, but was cheering for Deza the entire story!
