Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner
3.0

I probably should give it a 2 rating, but ... since so many kids like it, I bumped it because I am much too old for the intended audience. The reason I would have rated it a 2 is primarily because of the abrupt ending. "The race ended. The End." Did he get the money? Did he save the farm? Did his Grandpa get better? Did he go to college? And then there are the lingering questions: why did Stone Fox interfere at the end of the race when he wants to get land for his people? And, why did he punch the obviously little kid the face? Too much left unsaid, even for a kids' book.
