Spellbinding…
In Schoonmaker’s second in the Sid Johnson series, his young protagonist sets off on a long journey to California, trekking across the old western trails. Sid Johnson has a letter entrusted to him that he needs to bring to Santa Fe. He only knows it contains something valuable and someone wants it for sinister reasons. Venturing danger-ridden paths on the Santa Fe Trail, Sid discovers greater threats than just American Indians. To make matters worse, his letter suddenly vanishes when he needs it most to save his captured sister. This captivating book blends elements of a historical drama with an intimate portrait of life during the 1850s. It is a tale of human courage and will, as well as an exploration of the displacement and destruction of the Kanza Nation along the Santa Fe Trail. The novel’s young hero, Sid, faces loss of his home and friends but retains his faith in love and hope. Well-researched and detailed, this middle grade novel offers readers an intense and immersive experience akin to those found in adult historical fiction. A stunner.
