After tragedy strikes on the wagon trail and his Pa runs off, Colton Wescott is desperately trying to find a solution to his family's problems. When he sees a sign for the Pony Express, he thinks he has the solution. Black Storm Comin' by Diane Lee Wilson is the story Colton Wescott and his adventures with the Pony Express. It is a great historical fiction book and one of the nominees for the Rebecca Caudill award. I really enjoyed the realistic story as well as the colorful characters.

February 4, 2009 at 11:12 AMThis was a good adventure book with a side of the western movement we don't often see. The book moved along well and the story line was very good. Seeing how the western movement felt for an African-American family was very interesting. I think this would be a great book for young people to read.
