James' painterly oils swirl with energy, visible daubs creating the dusty, monumental landscape and equally monumental horses and humans. . . . A champion indeed. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \u003cbr\u003e The true tale of a cowboy's epic rodeo ride from acclaimed author Vaunda Micheaux Nelson and Caldecott Honoree Gordon C. James. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1911, three men were in the final round of the famed Pendleton Round-Up. One was white, one was Indian, and one was black. When the judges declared the white man the winner, the audience was outraged. They named black cowboy George Fletcher the people's champion and took up a collection, ultimately giving Fletcher far more than the value of the prize that went to the official winner. Award-winning author Vaunda Micheaux Nelson tells the story of Fletcher's unlikely triumph with a western flair that will delight kids--and adults--who love true stories, unlikely heroes, and cowboy tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolrhoda Books (R)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512498080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019 pg. 117\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/21\/2018 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e501314 \/ Let 'er Buck!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Vaunda Micheaux Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36655798485148,"sku":"9781512498080","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8fd3d18f-e991-4819-821f-7b339a10aaf9.jpg?v=1603886590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/let-er-buck-george-fletcher-the-peoples-champion-9781512498080","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
