Penguin Readers Level 5: the Grapes of Wrath (Penguin Readers (Graded Readers))

When the Joads lose their farm in the Oklaholma dust-bowl, they join the thousands of people travelling towards the golden promise of California. Instead they meet hostility, humiliation and poverty. Steinbeck's portrait of the horrors of the Depression is a landmark of American literature and won the Pulitzer Prize.
