The Legend of Jimmy Spoon

Legend of Jimmy Spoon "Jimmy where are you?" in the beginning of this book, a boy named Jimmy who likes to ride horses doesn't get a horse on his birthday. Instead his dad asks him to work in his store. Jimmy gets mad but still works with his dad. He makes his own club with himself. Then two Indians ask him to go with them to their village. When he gets there at about 2 days later, he finds out that he is now the son of the chief's mother. Then for several years he travels with the Indian tribe through many adventures. What I thought about the book was that it was a very good book because of the adventure. I would recommend this book to a person who likes adventure books. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so it's not the best...

My main problem with this book was that it didn't have a lot of page-turning material in it. Other than that, it was GREAT! It really showed how the Indians lived, and their views on different things. I found it a little annoying that he didn't miss his family as much as I thought he would. But still, I recommend this book to anyone interested in Indian culture but don't want to read through textbooks.

Jimmy made a mistake that would change his life forever.

Jimmy Spoon is a ten year old boy living in Salt Lake City,Utah. He really wants a horse but his dad said he couldn't until he was 14. One day when Jimmy was playing in his backyard two Shashoni boys came up to him and played for a while. The next day they came back with a horse named Pinto Bean and they said,"If you come to our village, Jimmy, we will give you Pinto Bean." Jimmy thought, "Sure! Why not?" So he went with the boys to the village. Little did Jimmy know that the boys meant forever. After Jimmy found out he said,"Ok, I'll go with you for a while". Jimmy never would imagine all the adventures and fun that would come in the future.
