The shady adults who surround him believe he's a \"hobbhadehoy,\" a youth who hasn't quite reached manhood. Despite years of neglect, he hasn't lost his empathy for others and a fledgling sense of justice. As the lieutenant of a pack of street rats, he craves greater control of his life. His luck finally runs out when through someone's treachery, he faces significant prison time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePencil's grasps another opportunity when he's shipped off to Ohio on one of the first \"orphan trains.\" Life on the farm proves to be a different challenge under the demanding, and occasionally drunken, thumb of his new guardian. Ultimately, he's forced to flee, a much stronger physical specimen than when he arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePencil ends up in Cleveland, where a daguerreotypist takes him under her wing. She teaches him about capturing images on glass and copper while trying to impress upon him the importance of trust. Encounters with corpses, kidnappers, and grave robbers test his acceptance of the idea ... and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52556925010227,"sku":"9781962465373","price":24.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/oRyr2j-km89781962465373.webp?v=1761170085","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/hobbadehoy-rising-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
