Last Bus to Wisdom

Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig's beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an 11 year-old's imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister Kate in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Soon, he boards the last bus back to Montana with rollicking misadventures along the way.
