Note: Renominated for new narrator -- Twelve-year-old Abilene has just been sent to live in the town where her father grew up. A drifter since childhood, he doesn't have any living relatives, but for a time, he found a home in Manifest, Kansas. Though upset about being sent away, Abilene takes the opportunity to dig into her dad's (and the town's) storied past. Jenna Lamia's young voice suits Abilene and the story's other characters while the use of multiple narrators helps listeners keep track of the story as it jumps between 1936 and 1918. Audio. Colleen Beaupre

Twelve-year-old Abilene has been sent to Manifest, the Kansas town where her drifter father found a home in his youth, and she takes the opportunity to dig into her father's (and the town's) multi-layered past.  Jenna Lamia's young voice suits Abilene perfectly while multiple narrators help listeners keep track of the tale as it alternates between 1918 and 1936. Ages 9 to 12
