Description
It’s Fourth-of-July week 1979. America is a psychological mess. What a time for 19-year old Ted Granger to act out his dream of being a hobo! Seeking thrills, adventure, and freedom, he set out to hitchhike across the United States. The Last Hobo captures the fun, hilarity, and anxiety of a fantasy-fueled road trip colliding with reality. Based on a true story, the book is a colorful portrait of America and its people at the end of the seventies. An older-and-wiser Ted narrates the tale with a unique perspective: He’s from Detroit, the very icon of America’s highest dreams and its worst nightmares.
The Last Hobo is a book for the young and restless (Age 16-116), 1970s (and 1960s) nostalgia buffs, and lovers of cars, trains, and Americana. It features the beautiful illustrations of award-winning artist Tim Grajek. “A thrilling journey through the heart of America in 1979, yet a snapshot of the U.S.A. right now,” says Louis Markos, author of seven books including On the Shoulders of Hobbits.
