Tremendous American Adventures with Classic Virtues and Sparkling Storytelling
Welcome to the Tumbleweed Thompson Adventures! Author Glenn McCarty takes readers on wild-west adventures from the American frontier. Follow Eugene Appleton, a pastor’s kid who doesn’t usually find himself in much trouble, until he meets a new friend: Tumbleweed Thompson. Eugene, Tumbleweed, and their friend, Charlotte, find themselves in adventure after adventure, most often because of Tumbleweed’s own machinations.
For families who love the action and humor of series like the Green Ember, the Wingfeather Saga, Mr. Limoncello’s Library, and the Mysterious Benedict Society, the Tumbleweed Thompson Adventures provide fast-paced, hijinks-filled middle-grade novels with the added beauty of the American west and the classic feel of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.

This story has everything a person wants in a good tale & is told in such a way that you can't put it down. It has inspired our family to create art, stories, a play and even an Umbrella of Justice! Everyone should read this book! You'll love it!

So much fun! I read this aloud to my kids, and we couldn't put it down. Every night, they were asking to stay up late for "just one more chapter!"

My 6 kids (ages 4-12) and I just finished listening to this wonderful story. We loved the adventure and suspense along with the values of faith, justice, friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice. With a huge helping of humor thrown in, this is a perfect book to share with your kids!

He teaches middle school English in Western New York, where he lives with his wife and children in a small town that’s pretty much Mayberry. But without Don Knotts. Bummer.
