THE ORANGE SLIPKNOT
By Jan Young
Illustrated by Pat Lemkuhl
The Orange Slipknot is an easy-to-read modern day story about ranching in the western United States told through 12-year-old Ben’s eyes. This is a great coming-of-age story where Ben learns the tough realities of being responsible for his own actions which results in his being treated as a man on the ranch.
The illustrations by Pat Lemkuhl are beautifully done, enhance the story and are placed strategically throughout the story bringing more effect to it.
There is a glossary at the back of the book to help understand some of the usage of specific ranching terms. Ms. Young has written a story that definitely allows the reader to learn and experience life on a western cattle ranch. This will be a book that stays on many young adults bookshelves as a keeper. Congratulations, Ms. Young.
