Johnny standsBy: Harry W. PaigeJohnny was with his grandfather. He lives on a reservation with him and Johnny likes it. His grandfather tells him stories of when he was in a tribe and an old Indian ways of doing things. One day an agent from social services say that Johnny has to leave and go back to his aunt?s house in Denver and his grandfather doesn?t have the money for his property or to support Johnny. Johnny knows that if he goes back his grandfather will need a lot of help because he can not see read or write. So they run away and hide in abandon churches and keep moving so no one will find them. They face many changes in the church I think the story was exciting and suspenful you never know what?s going to happen next in this book.
