The Amazing Adventures of Joshua Survivo Ralph Larsen

Joshua Survivo is only twelve, but the story of his adventures will delight young and old. There isn't much that doesn't happen (or almost happen) to Josh after he runs away from the state orphanage and circumstances conspire to make him a hobo. On the first day he is swept up in the celebration in Times Square when World War II ends in Europe and for the next few months he experiences some extreme highs and lows; it quickly becomes obvious that he'll need more than an appropriate name to help him survive on the road. The circumstances of his early life have provided him with a keen intuition that helps him sense the good in good people and the evil intent in others. Being small for his age, cute and well-mannered doesn't do him any harm either...most of the time. He lives by his wits and gets by with a little help from his friends. When he gets into some really tight spots, he needs a lot of help from his friends.
