Ten-year-old Justin hates that his sisters and his mama are always fussing at him. They make him feel stupid because he can't clean his room or cook. But why should he? He'd rather be outside playing. After all, cooking and cleaning is just “women's work.” That's why Justin is glad when his grandfather invites him back to his ranch for the summer. Justin is sure he can get away from all the women and do some actual “men's work,” such as cleaning fish, mending fences, and riding horses. But back at the ranch, Justin learns some unexpected lessons and soon realizes that anyone can do anything once they learn how.

Title: Great Family Book Club Selection
Review: I read this first and would have given it 4 stars based on pretty well written, cute story, amount of attention given to research and historical detail, and a nice little lesson on family relationships. Put it in the hands of a nine year old boy with a big sister and it becomes a laugh out loud, "I know just how he feels!", didn't want to stop reading, 5 star book. Perfect for reading to or kids who read on their own. And a great selection for family book clubs, a starting point for discussing inter-familial relationships and promoting understanding.

Title: Great book for kids
Review: The history of Black cowboys is narrow. This book is a good representation of what their life was like and especially the heartache of exercising their freedom. I’d recommend this to be read to younger children while older ones can read it themselves. Great story. Special Grandpa.

Title: Wonderful Book
Review: I truly love this book because it identified with my experience of being blessed with two loving grandfathers. The grandfather in this book was like my grandfather's, he nurtured Justin's growth with patience and love. The story to me was all about being taught to grow through love and patience. Try reading Stealing Home by Mary Stoltz if you can find it. Another wonderful read for a black young male being raised by his grandfather.

Title: No Loserville here.
Review: A wise grandfather leads his son into growth in self-esteem. It wasn't much fun being last at bat at everything, but Justin learned that by trying with the help of an "expert" he could be a winner, too. I loved the way the author wove American history into the story without making the slavery part be so gut-wrenching. I loved the way the great-grandfather's literacy allowed him to pass on much to his family. It is a book worth family sharing.
