Black Storm Coming











My book is called Black Storm Coming. It's about a 12 year old working for the Pony express trying to deleiver freedom papers to his Aunt. His family is moving to their Aunt's home in California, Sacremento. Unfortunetly their mothers newborn baby died and their Father left them after he SHOT his son Colton. Now this isn't a happy go lucky family,they are half BLACk and half white. After their father left they had no real adult that was "free". This was BEFORE the Civil war so the pony express was very important to California who,even though with Sounthern bearings,was a UNION state(HURRAH!!??).

The main and in the story may not be physically or mentally strong characters include Althea,Coltons 10 year old sister who's more like a mom than a 5th grader,their mom who was sick from giving birth to their baby Willie(who died......R.I.P),Mr.Roberts the Pony Express mamger,and Jerimaeh a guy who despite despising him, was saved by him.

Colton Wescott is probobly the most inportant because he was doing the work for the family and earning money too. It is easier to understand Colton because the author used flashbacks and descriptive words. Some of the Characters liked or hated Colton.
