(4) 4-6 Julio, an Anglo boy raised by a Mexican family, joins a sheep drive along the Santa Fe Trail in hopes of finding his natural grandfather in Independence, Missouri. Set in 1845 and featuring some historic characters and locations--such as William Bent of Bent's Fort--the novel is somewhat overplotted, but the writing is generally smooth. A concluding author's note helps separate fact from fiction.
