The Great Turkey Walk
If you are looking for a really fun book to read, consider Kathleen Karr's The Great Turkey Walk. Set in 1860, this book is part historical novel and part tall tale. Simon, a fifteen-year-old boy, sets out from Missouri to herd 1000 turkeys to market in Denver. I read somewhere that the book is recommended for third to sixth grades. However, it will appeal to any age reader. A good book is a good book is a good book.
