I like Blaine Yorgason books. This one takes place in 1904. It has a judging others consept in the book. Everyone thinks the "Hurryups" family are Indians because they are different. No one really knows them except for one person and the rest of the town won't believe him that they aren't Indians. It's a quick read and very enjoyable.
I was really into the plot almost 3/4 of the way through then the ending was a bit confusing. I'm still contemplating the idea that I was supposed to get more out of it that I did. Maybe I'm just not a deep thinker?
A little harder read compared to most of Yorgasons books, but still thought provoking and mystery.
An inspiring book about honor, greed, and what really matters in life.
I've recommended this book to several friends. I loved it!
The majority of this book was quite good. However, the ending left much to be desired. The last 70 pages or so I couldn't put down, but then the final 2-3 chapters were completely anti-climactic for me. Sad really, because the story had me totally consumed at that point. I was ready for a fantastic finish, and instead I'm left feeling totally incomplete. The plot just came to a screeching halt and the book ended. That was it. UGH!
A Historical novel about children, gold and hiding and caves and mystery.
