He leaves home to find himself transformed from a young teen into a hobo, dependent on the kindness of strangers.
What will happen to Rudy when he hops on trains and rides the rails to California? Will he find a job? Will he find food? Who will he find to help him along the way? Will he ever return home?

WINGWALKER, the story:
As a dance teacher, Reuben's father could only dream of actually flying in an airplane in 1932. As a kid who was happy with his feet on the ground, Reuben could only quiver in fear at the thought of flying! When the Great Depression hit this small country family in Oklahoma, serious choices had to be made. Jobs were lost. Food was scarce. Then, a newspaper from the Minnesota wrapped around six eggs from the store shined light on Reuben's father dreams. Rising from the ashes of The Great Depression, a job as a wingwalker promised high pay but dangerous consequences. Will Reuben be able to overcome his own fears? Will his father be able to realize his dreams in the middle of a national disaster?
WINGWALKER, set in The Great Depression, tells the story of a family that loses its home during the Depression and has to resort to wingwalking and circus work to survive. Not only does Father survive wingwalking, but Reuben learns some valuable lessons in life because of the struggles.
