My second book to blog is The Great Turkey Walk by Kathleen Karr. This book is about a young man named Simon Green. As far as intelligence goes, Simon doesn't have much. After spending three years in 3rd grade, he is graduated early and told to spread his wings and find something else to do. So Simon decided to go into the the turkey business. One of the farmers in his town has an extreme surplus of turkeys and Simon decides to buy them and walk them all the way to Denver where they sell for a significantly higher price. Along the way Simon has many interesting adventures. A circus muscle man who turns out to be his long lost father, a run away slave, Indians, and a girl whose entire family died and left her alone on their land. Something new is happening around every turn for Simon in his quest to prove his worth.
