About this title: In 1932, America was in the depths of a deep depression.

"Man, I rereaf this, & I couldn't believe how much I had forgotten. I've decided that I really love this book, even though everyone I know didn't like it. The plot was really good to me, & I love Josh & Joey. I'm so glad I reread this, because if I hadn't, then I wouldn't have realized just how much I like this book."
"So far,I learn that this book takes place during The Great Depression, and it is about a family struggling through this time of starvation and fear. Because of the family's condition, the two sons, Josh and Joey(also the only sons), is forced to leave, to find some other ways to get a good future. They departed with their friend Howie, who is in the same condition. On their first day, they used their music talents wisely,and earned a reasonable amount of money. Though I do not expect this kind of luck to be up on them every single days, and I think that obstacles will soon come up... As the story went on, a lot of significant incidents occurred. Such as Josh and Joey having trouble finding food, a job, and shelter. One thing I thought that was very important was when Josh was feverish, and pushed Joey onto the floor because he was being kind by sharing half of his bread with some lady that shared dinner with them(which was in poor condition as well). Joey ran away afterward, and Josh was looking for him anxiously. Later they were both found and being hospitalized by Lonnie(some nice guy that they met while they were hitchhiking, really nice). When they both recovered from their sicknesses, they were then introduced to a job which was about playing piano and singing in a famous restaurant(and this was when their life changed). Josh met Lonnie's niece Janey, where they felt in love. After a period of time, they grew homesick and decided to visit their parent back at Chicago!! The story ended with the family lived happily ever after and Josh and Janey carried on with their business."
