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.

In The Golden Road of Tumbleweed Thompson, Tumbleweed once again finds a way to interrupt Eugene's life, this time to help solve the sudden disappearance of his father. The two set off on a life-changing quest in search of the fabled treasure of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

A middle grade adventure perfect for boys ages 8 to 12 who love classic stories like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Praise for Tumbleweed Thompson

  • “McCarty is a lively storyteller who knows what boys like to read, and it’s all packed into a novel with a sprinkling of respect for the church. The religious content doesn’t dominate the story, but it’s sincere...A fun, fresh read for those who need a break from fantasy."

     

    Megan Saben, Redeemed Reader

  • “It was such a fun middle grade fiction read that takes place in CO after the Civil War and before it was a state...This will make for a great summer read. It has the feel of Tom Sawyer and a bit of a mystery. I really enjoyed McCarty’s writing style. The illustrations by Joe Sutphin are fantastic!”

     

    Jamie H.

  • “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!" McCarty tells a compelling story with relatable characters, and the subtlety in his humor is a delicious treat. The illustrations by Sutphin had my kids running over to "ooh" and "aah" again and again.”
