The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my

eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I’d seen only

in Gideon’s stories: Manifest—A Town with a rich past and a bright

future.

Abilene Tucker feels abandoned. Her father has put her on a

train, sending her off to live with an old friend for the summer

while he works a railroad job. Armed only with a few possessions

and her list of universals, Abilene jumps off the train in

Manifest, Kansas, aiming to learn about the boy her father once

was.

Having heard stories about Manifest, Abilene is disappointed to

find that it’s just a dried-up, worn-out old town. But her

disappointment quickly turns to excitement when she discovers a

hidden cigar box full of mementos, including some old letters that

mention a spy known as the Rattler. These mysterious letters send

Abilene and her new friends, Lettie and Ruthanne, on an

honest-to-goodness spy hunt, even though they are warned to “Leave

Well Enough Alone.”

Abilene throws all caution aside when she heads down the mysterious

Path to Perdition to pay a debt to the reclusive Miss Sadie, a

diviner who only tells stories from the past. It seems that

Manifest’s history is full of colorful and shadowy characters—and

long-held secrets. The more Abilene hears, the more determined she

is to learn just what role her father played in that history. And

as Manifest’s secrets are laid bare one by one, Abilene begins to

weave her own story into the fabric of the town.

Powerful in its simplicity and rich in historical detail, Clare

Vanderpool’s debut is a gripping story of loss and redemption.

real southeastern Kansas town of Frontenac, home of both of her

maternal grandparents. Drawing on stories she heard as a child,

along with research in town newspapers, yearbooks, and graveyards,

Clare found a rich and colorful history for her story. Clare lives

MAY 27, 1936    

The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my

eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I knew only

from stories. The one just outside of town with big blue letters:

manifest: a town with a rich past and a bright

future.  

I thought about my daddy, Gideon Tucker. He does his best

talking in stories, but in recent weeks, those had become few and

far between. So on the occasion when he'd say to me, "Abilene, did

I ever tell you 'bout the time . . . ?" I'd get all quiet and

listen real hard. Mostly he'd tell stories about Manifest, the town

where he'd lived once upon a time.   His words drew

pictures of brightly painted storefronts and bustling townsfolk.

Hearing Gideon tell about it was like sucking on butterscotch.

Smooth and sweet. And when he'd go back to not saying much, I'd try

recalling what it tasted like. Maybe that was how I found comfort

just then, even with him being so far away. By remembering the

flavor of his words. But mostly, I could taste the sadness in his

voice when he told me I couldn't stay with him for the summer while

he worked a railroad job back in Iowa. Something had changed in

him. It started the day I got a cut on my knee. It got bad and I

got real sick with infection. The doctors said I was lucky to come

out of it. But it was like Gideon had gotten a wound in him too.

Only he didn't come out of it. Andit was painful enough to make him

send me away.   I reached into my satchel for the flour

sack that held my few special things. A blue dress, two shiny dimes

I'd earned collecting pop bottles, a letter from Gideon telling

folks that I would be received by Pastor Howard at the Manifest

depot, and my most special something, kept in a box lined with an

old 1917 Manifest Herald newspaper: my daddy's

compass.  

In a gold case, it wore like a pocket watch, but inside was a

compass showing every direction. Only problem was, a working

compass always points north. This one, the arrow dangled and

jiggled every which way. It wasn't even that old. It had the

compass maker's name and the date it was made on the inside. St.

Dizier, October 8, 1918. Gideon had always planned to get it fixed,

but when I was leaving, he said he didn't need it anyway, what with

train tracks to guide him. Still, I liked imagining that the chain

of that broken compass was long enough to stretch all the way back

into his pocket, with him at one end and me at the

other.  

Smoothing out the yellowed newspaper for the thousandth time, I

scanned the page, hoping to find some bit of news about or insight

into my daddy. But there was only the same old "Hogs and Cattle"

report on one side and a "Hattie Mae's News Auxiliary: Charter

Edition" on the other, plus a couple of advertisements for Liberty

Bonds and Billy Bump's Hair Tonic. I didn't know anything about

Hattie Mae Harper, except what she wrote in her article, but I

figured her newspaper column had protected Gideon's compass for

some time, and for that I felt a sense of gratitude. I carefully

placed the newspaper back in the box and stored the box in the

satchel, but held on to the compass. I guess I just needed to hold

on to something.  

The conductor came into the car. "Manifest, next

stop."  

The seven-forty-five evening train was going to be right on

time. Conductors only gave a few minutes' notice, so I had to

hurry. I shoved the compass into a side pocket of the satchel, then

made my way to the back of the last car. Being a paying customer

this time, with a full-fledged ticket, I didn't have to jump off,

and I knew that the preacher would be waiting for me. But as anyone

worth his salt knows, it's best to get a look at a place before it

gets a look at you. I'd worn my overalls just for the occasion.

Besides, it wouldn't be dark for another hour, so I'd have time to

find my way around.  

At the last car, I waited, listening the way I'd been

taught--wait till the clack of the train wheels slows to the rhythm

of your heartbeat. The trouble is my heart speeds up when I'm

looking at the ground rushing by. Finally, I saw a grassy spot and

jumped. The ground came quick and hard, but I landed and rolled as

the train lumbered on without a thank-you or goodbye.

媒体评论

Starred review, BOOKLIST, October 15, 2010:

After a life of riding the rails with her father, 12-year-old

Abilene can’t understand why he has sent her away to stay with

Pastor Shady Howard in Manifest, Missouri, a town he left years

earlier; but over the summer she pieces together his story. In

1936, Manifest is a town worn down by sadness, drought, and the

Depression, but it is more welcoming to newcomers than it was in

1918, when it was a conglomeration of

coal-mining immigrants who were kept apart by habit, company

practice, and prejudice. Abilene quickly finds friends and uncovers

a local mystery. Their summerlong “spy hunt” reveals deep-seated

secrets and helps restore residents’ faith in the bright future

once promised on the town’s sign. Abilene’s first-person narrative

is intertwined with newspaper columns from 1917 to 1918 and stories

told by a diviner, Miss Sadie, while letters home from a soldier

fighting in WWI add yet another narrative layer. Vanderpool weaves

humor and sorrow into a complex tale involving murders, orphans,

bootlegging, and a mother in hiding. With believable dialogue,

vocabulary and imagery appropriate to time and place, and

welldeveloped characters, this rich and rewarding first novel is

“like sucking on a butterscotch. Smooth and sweet.”

Starred review, KIRKUS REVIEWS, September 15, 2010:

“Readers will cherish every word up to the heartbreaking yet

hopeful

and deeply gratifying ending.”

Starred review, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, September 27, 2010:

"Replete with historical details and surprises, Vanderpool's debut

delights,

while giving insight into family and community.”

Review, THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS,

November 2010:

"Ingeniously plotted and gracefully told."
