\nThe movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I\u2019d seen only in Gideon\u2019s stories:\u00a0Manifest\u2014A Town with a rich past and a bright future.<\/u><\/p>\n

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.
\nHaving heard stories about Manifest, Abilene is disappointed to find that it\u2019s 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 \u201cLeave Well Enough Alone.\u201d
\nAbilene 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\u2019s history is full of colorful and shadowy characters\u2014and 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\u2019s secrets are laid bare one by one, Abilene begins to weave her own story into the fabric of the town.<\/p>\n

Powerful in its simplicity and rich in historical detail, Clare Vanderpool\u2019s debut is a gripping story of loss and redemption.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
