It subtly captures the coming of age of two young prairie girls. The beauty of this story is in the little things, the life things. In short: it’s wonderful."—Arthur Slade, Governor General’s Award–winning author of Dust“This is a tender story about two friends dealing with tragic personal loss. Beryl Young captures a snapshot of small town life in the 1940s. Lovingly told, realistic, sad, and, like life, often very funny."—Harriet Zaidman, teacher-librarian and writer, Winnipeg, ManitobaMiles to Go is the story of a friendship between two twelve-year-old girls in a small Saskatchewan town.
