Description

Book Synopsis: In The Duck-footed Hound Harky is a plucky 13-year-old boy that would rather fish and hunt racoons than anything else. His nemesis is a wily and uncatchable racoon named Old Joe. Harky’s prospects of treeing Old Joe rise when a new coon hound, which Harky and his dad believe is half hound and half duck because of its webbed paws, appears from nowhere. The Duck-footed Hound was awarded Kirkus’s coveted starred review. We Were There at the Oklahoma Land Run is a rousing tale about Cindy Simpson’s family’s desire to homestead in the Oklahoma Territory. They are competing with hundreds of others crowded along the border hoping for their own land. It will be a race to claim the best farm land before someone else does. Jim Kjelgaard won a Boys Club Award, a Spur Award from the Western Writers of America, and a Boys’ Life Award. Lisa A.
