A terrific read aloud for November! We all really enjoyed it. A historical fiction journey story following Simon, a teenage boy, and his ragtag group of friends as they drive 1,000 turkeys from Missouri to Denver in 1890. The characters have dimension and a lot of heart. My only gripe is that the story is told from Simon’s perspective and the whole book used country twang and improper grammar. It’s fun for awhile, but it got to be a difficult read aloud after a bit.
