{"product_id":"2940150444980","title":"Thumbs Up","description":"Adventures of a hitchhiker on a 12,000 mile journey across the U.S. in 1929. After taking his exams for the New Jersey Bar, twenty-four year old Harry I. Heller set off on a hitchhiking cross-country adventure. Relying upon his wits and not his wallet, he traveled across the United States without paying a dime for transportation. In the days when a job paid one dollar and seventy five cents per day and seeing a movie cost ten cents, he hitchhiked his way from New Jersey to California. Among his many escapades, he got lost in the Yosemite Mountains, confronted hungry bears, raced downhill in a moving van with burnt-out brakes, jumped on a speeding train, and climbed Pike's Peak on foot. This true coming-of-age tale shows the courage, fortitude, and determination of a young man following his dream and learning to rely solely on himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is edited by the author's daughter, multi-published author Nancy J. Cohen.","brand":"Orange Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149444694256,"sku":"2940150444980","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150444980_p0.jpg?v=1763745460","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150444980","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
