My favorite books are those in which I truly care about the characters, and this book's two key characters were endearing and REAL, and I really did care about how they would get through all of the troubles they faced. Johanna's pronunciations were delightful, and her resourcefulness was amazing. It's great when a 10-year-old GIRL finds solutions! A bonus for me was knowing that it's become a movie, and picturing Tom Hanks as Captain Kidd. He's a favorite actor of mine, and will be perfect in this captivating role!

This book is wonderfully written work of fiction set in Texas in its early days. Extremely well written and hard to put down. Only difficulty is that she is apparently trying to emulate ee cummings with as little punctuation as possible. But she does capitalize! This takes a little bit to get used to and then its fine. I haven't read her work before so not sure what her reason is, but it sure seems to save some space! Highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed the book generally. The only downer for me was that she didn't do her homework on the guns used. As a gun enthusiast, especially of that period of American history, she made several glaring errors. If you don't know anything about that period's firearms, I guess it wouldn't matter.
