Soupy Leaves Home | Cecil Castellucci
12 posts | 9 read | 8 to read
Pearl "Soupy" Plankette ran away from her abusive father, but has nowhere to go until she stumbles upon a disguise that gives her the key to a new identity. Reborn as a boy named Soupy, she hitches her star to Remy "Ramshackle" Smith, a hobo who takes her under his wing. Ramshackle's kindness and protection go a long way to help Soupy heal from her difficult past. But Ramshackle has his own demons to wrestle with, and he'll need Soupy just as much as she needs him. Set in 1932, this is the story of two misfits with no place to call home, who build a relationship during a train hopping journey from the cold heartbreak of their eastern homes toward the sunny promise of California.

#FallIntoReading Day 10: This Mulligan stew created #InTheKitchen, however makeshift among street people is quite different, whereby a variety of the most unlikely flavours come together in the most unexpectedly beautiful, tasty, and filling way. This graphic novel caught me sideways. There is a raw vulnerability that is permitted to surface here as told through a vagabond‘s eyes. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-iX5

I need more historical graphic novels like this in my life. I loved getting to know Soupy and, like her, getting a glimpse into hobo life during the Great Depression. The story and whimsical art transports readers whether it's to the side of the tracks getting ready to jump into a boxcar or deep in the woods eating Mulligan Stew at hobo camp. This is a great read.

Soupy has to leave home (in part) because she‘s a bookish girl. We can imagine a future for her, can‘t we?

This was a delightful graphic novel about a girl who passes as a boy and joins a bunch of hobos riding the rails and taking care of each other.
