Category: Juvenile Fiction , Historical , United States , 19th Century

Twelve-year-old runaway Jimmy Spoon finds life with his adopted Shoshoni Indian family both exciting and strange. Over the course of this story’s historical adventure, Jimmy comes to understand the Indians and their way of life-and most impor-tantly, himself. “A carefully researched, sympathetic, well-balanced picture of life on the frontier; authentic details of daily life are deftly woven into a moving story that promises a sequel.”-Kirkus Reviews
