Joe Henry's Return by Marcia Melton

In 1862, Joe Henry Grummond traveled with his father from Kentucky to Montana and back, as chronicled in Joe Henry's Journey. Now, in 1866, with nothing left for them in Kentucky, Joe’s family—consisting of Joe, his father, his grandmother, two younger sisters, and John Abel, a disabled orphan and former nemesis—joins a wagon train for the arduous journey northwest to resettle in Montana. Along the way, they encounter numerous adventures, reunite with old friends, and ultimately establish a new home in Montana Territory.

“Joe Henry returns stronger than ever in this rousing adventure story! Ride along with a brave teenage boy as he experiences friendship, triumph, hardship, and danger in early Montana Territory. Expertly researched, this is a must-read story for all ages!” — Rachel Phillips, Research Coordinator at the Gallatin History Museum, Bozeman, MT and author of Legendary Locals of Bozeman.

“History and adventure come to life for readers young and old. Many stories still to be told of all cultures.”

- Vivian Winter Chaser, Si Cangu Lakota Educator and Storyteller.

This book has lots of adventures from beginning to end like when he got knocked out two times. The part when he got shot was scary because he blacked out and I wasn’t sure he was going to live.

Joe Henry’s Return is a great story for readers who are growing out of children’s books, but are not quite ready for YA novels. This is a heartwarming story, and is top notch for readers who are interested in that particular time period.
