Justin Was A Terror Rachel Sherwood Roberts

Thirteen year old Justin Dunlop runs away from home because he believes his life is ruined, but he finds that running away isn't easy. He faces questions and ridicule, but fortunately Zeb Porter, his best friend, and Zeb's family understand his feelings. While riding the historic Nickel Plate Road Steam Locomotive No. 765, with Poke Stevens, Justin forgets his troubles. He even begins to think of Poke as a father figure, but when Poke kills an abandoned Nile Monitor lizard, Justin becomes angry and disappointed. How the two mend their friendship is the heart of the book.
