Set in the late 19th century, this is historical fiction at its most exciting. Our 12-year-old hero Joseph is tragically orphaned and alone in rural Washington State. He goes on a quest with one goal: to get his horse back. She's all he has left in the world. Along the way, Joseph faces danger and makes new friends. In some ways this is very different from Gemeinhart's first book (THE HONEST TRUTH) but both books have a strong emotional core and riveting plots.
