Texas Orphan Train

Another exciting, heartwarming western saga from the consistently fine Kent Conwell. As with most all of his other novels, we spend very little time on intro and set-up. By page ten we're on the road heading into our first adventure. Despite having written books with similar themes, "A Wagon Train for Brides" and "Buster Adams and the Ragamuffin Gang," the story remains fresh because 1)the characters are so clearly drawn, and 2) there are plenty of action points and plot twists that are unique to this book - not just dusted off and trotted out to beguile the indiscriminate reader. I've compared Kent Conwell to Louis L'Amour on more than one occasion, and I will continue to do so. He is that good.

You will love this book. Anyone who has read Kent Conwell's westerns will not be disappointed. You will be on the edge of your seat and the children will have you wishing that you could jump into the pages with them. This is a ten stars book. Mr. Conwell has indeed done it again. I wish that it could have gone on and on. I love his storytelling!!!
