Some Kind of Courage By Dan Gemeinhart Cover Image

Some Kind of Courage (Paperback)

By Dan Gemeinhart
$7.99

Following 12-year old recently orphaned Joseph on his quest to get his only family back -his beloved horse Sarah- author Gemeinhart brings together race relations in the late 1800's, western lore and a clear-eyed pragmatism that, coupled with his signature action/adventure plot twists and a kindheartedness thread permeating the story, this wonderful, evocative and first rate middle grade title builds on his exceptional debut (The Honest Truth). This is an author that has clearly established himself as a must read for warm hearted, realistic adventures.

(Historical Fiction, ages 9+) - Reviewed by Maureen
