Trains and time travel spur one boy's thrilling adventure as he
seeks to rejoin his father in a new classic from Rosemary Wells and
Bagram Ibatoulline.
One day in a house at the end of Lucifer Street, on the Mississippi
River side of Cairo, Illinois, eleven-year-old Oscar Ogilvie's life
is changed forever. The Crash of 1929 has rippled across the
country, and Oscar's dad must sell their home--with all their

Willa Sue, Oscar is lonely and miserable--until he meets a
mysterious drifter and witnesses a crime so stunning it catapults
Oscar on an incredible train journey from coast to coast, from one
decade to another. Filled with suspense and peppered with witty
encounters with Hollywood stars and other bigwigs of history, this
captivating novel by Rosemary Wells, gorgeously illustrated by
Bagram Ibatoulline, resonates with warmth, humor, and the true
magic of a timeless adventure.

How to comfort a young child who misses a special person when he or
she is away? A treasured picturebook creator has the perfect

anxiety many children feel when parents go to work, or live in
separate homes; when close friends or relatives move, or live far
away; or whenever a loved one's absence calls for an extra dose of
reassurance.

"An eloquent account of the American immigrant experience."
--Booklist (starred review) "Deserves to become a modern classic."
--BookPage (starred review) "A resounding welcome to immigrants."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Based in part on a 100-year-old
family journal, Rosemary Wells brings to life a story that the
diary's fragile pages tell. It's the story of a wooden rocking
chair handmade in about 1825 by her great-great-grandfather, an
immigrant Jewish boy who made his way to America from Germany in
the early 1800s. In 1807, Sam Siegbert is born in southern Germany.
Sam's favorite pastime is carpentry, much to his father's
displeasure. His mother says he has a gift from God in his hands.
After moving to America, he builds a wooden chair with the word
WILLKOMMEN on the back. The chair's back panel was later marked
with welcomes by four generations of the family in four different
languages. After the family lost track of the old chair, the author
created a new life for it among new owners from other corners of
the world. All the families who loved the chair came to America,
escaping religious conformity, natural disasters, tyrannies, war,
and superstition. In its lifetime, the rocking chair, with its
earliest word WILLKOMMEN, stood for openness, hospitality, and
acceptance to all who owned it or rocked safely in its embrace.
