Curricular connections: This book is very insightful and has many “teachable moments” by the variety of themes it includes.

Emily Reviews:
Out of the dust is a very good book to read. It is about a girl named billy joe who talks about her families expeirence with the dust bowl. Although the book has some sad parts it is very exciting in other parts. I liked the passage about setting the table, it was very interesting. Over all this book was very interesting and is a good read.
