Some Kind of Courage

(3) 4-6 Joseph Johnson--an unfailingly optimistic twelve-year-old orphan--tracks his stolen beloved horse across the Pacific Northwest in this historical tale. Joseph's impassioned journey becomes a series of dangerous encounters that resolve quickly and in his favor. Readers won't worry too much about Joseph's ultimate fate, but a steady procession of colorful side-characters and a brisk pace maintain this earnest adventure's momentum.
