"I reckon ye will love readin' it!"

In 1934, life has turned into a dangerous adventure for Hildy. Her family just plain ran off, leaving her alone, in the Ozarks. With the help of her cousin, Ruby, they go on a treacherous journey together, that's packed with obstacles..... which is complete with their very own merciless pursuer. With all the commotion going on, Hildy is also undertaking the experience of strengthening her lost relationship with God. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The storyline is very original and each chapter's cliffhanger make the book all the more tempting!

A Great Family Read-Aloud Book!

I really liked this book because of all the suspense happening. I wanted to keep reading after every chapter. Hildy's family seems to be almost torn apart, because of the Great Depression. It makes matters worse, when everything seems to go wrong, as they try to escape from....

Adventurous and exciting- keep up the good work, Mr. Roddy!

The Overland Escape is a story of a young girl who tries to track down her family after they left her in the Ozarks. This story will have you thoroughly intruiged and on the edge of your seat. Great for boys or girls!
