Our rating:

Terry Youngun thinks his father is unfair because he gives him work as punishment. Reverend Youngun finally comes to the end of his rope when Terry drives a car that they’re supposed to be taking care of. Terry is put to work picking his least favorite vegetable (carrots), and it doesn’t take long for him to run away with hoboes Railroad Jack and Skeeter, who have decided to follow Adam Cole’s Circus Freak Show. However, Adam Cole is not the nice guy he seems to be, and has certain crimes that he’d love to pin on Jack and Skeeter…

A page turner. Terry’s antics are great, and the ending is very exciting. You’ll laugh part of the way through, and be on the edge of your seat for the rest. Unfortunately, this book is out of print, but you might find it at your library.
