Book 2 Review
Book 2- Stone FoxAuthor- John Reynolds Gardiner
Willy lives on a potato farm in Wyoming with his grandfather. It is hard work, but they have fun, too. Until, one day, Grandfather won't get out of bed. The doctor can find nothing wrong with him; he's just given up on life. Willy is determined to find out what's wrong and fix it so Grandfather will get back to living. He learns the root of the trouble is back taxes and Grandfather owes $500. The farm could be taken away from them. Little Willy has an ingenious idea of how to get the money. Will his idea work? Will he be able to pay the taxes and keep the farm?
