|  | The Great Turkey Walk by Kathleen Karr, Tom Stechschulte
The year is 1860, and Simon Green has just failed the third grade--for the fourth time. He's not very book-smart, but Simon comes up with an ingenious plan that could earn him thousands of dollars, and all it entails is herding 1,000 turkeys from Missouri to Colorado. Simon reasons that once he gets the birds to Denver, where turkeys are scarce, he can charge $5.00 a piece for them. However, the plan is not as foolproof, and Simon encounters many obstacles, including a run-in with his long-lost and very disreputable father. AUTHOR: Kathleen Karr, Tom Stechschulte
