“Some Kind Of Courage” is a beautiful story written by Dan Gemeinhart. It’s full of adventure, determination and heart touching. It’s about a young boy named Joseph. He has lost his mom, dad and beloved sister Katie. He is left with Sarah, a red and white Indian pony with a notched ear. Soon she is kidnapped. Joseph had to cross savage obstacles to get her back. It was a menacing quest, but he did all he could to bring her back to his life. He met a brave Chinese boy named Ah-Khee during his journey. I love the adventure in this book. It beautifully explains the friendship among the two boys and Joseph’s love towards his horse. I almost cried when Joseph visited his mom’s and sister’s grave. Though the book is highly emotional it still has some fun elements as well.

While I was reading this, I was on the edge of my seat. If you are an animal lover and like to have some adventure in life, then this book is for you. It keeps you motivated with Joseph’s adamant and unforgiving nature. This is a good book for youngsters of age group 9-12. I also recommend another book by the same author: “The Honest Truth”.

Overall I would like to give it a 10/10
