Big, brawny Simon Green, who's just completed third grade (for the fourth time), may not be booksmart, but he's nobody's fool. When it's time to make his way in the world, Simon hatches a plan that could earn him a bundle. It's no sure thing, though -- he intends to herd a huge flock of turkeys all the way from eastern Missouri to the boomtown of Denver, where they'll fetch a mighty price. In 1860, the hazards of this trek are many -- how to get the birds across a river, for instance -- but young Simon is undaunted as he undertakes the biggest journey of his life.
