Gib Rides Home
by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

With a spirit of iron optimism, young Gibson Whitaker lives through dark days in an orphanage in the early 1900s.  With only a clouded memory of his past, Gib struggles with injustice, abuse, loneliness, and confusion.   Then, it is his turn to be adopted...will he find the answers to his questions, or will he face more abuse at slave labor?  Will his past ever become clear?
