Rating: Summary: My Favorite Book "Worth" Review: This book is definitely one of those books that really make a person wonder about their own worth. This is a book about family, friendship and honor. Nate and John Worth are two boys struggling with their own problems, and finding problems with each other as well. The events that mold them and cause them to discover their own inner worth are not only realistic but exciting. This book is well worth the read.

Rating: Summary: A boy's worth Review: This is one of those books that will stick with you long after you've closed the cover. It's bad enough that Nate breaks a leg in an accident on the farm - lightning strikes and spooks the horse pulling the wagon he's on, causing him to fall under a wheel and leaves him unable to help fulfill his duty to the family and he's told he may never walk normally again - but when his father brings home an Orphan Train boy named John Worth to take his place, Nate feels like a complete burden. Worse than useless. Worthless. He ostracizes John, punishing the boy for his own inadequacy, but John is suffering, too, and is still grieving the loss of his own family. Nate's parents are grieving the loss of their little girl, too. When events in the community create a crisis pitting farmer against rancher, the boys are forced to call a truce and forge an alliance to stop the hostilities that threaten their very livelihood, but will they ever be friends? If this one doesn't show up on the Newbery short list, I'll be really surprised.(...)
Rating: Summary: Aaron's Review Review: What I enjoyed most about this book was the setting because I like being in the country. Nathaniel's character was interesting because he went through a lot of changes throughout the story. I was happy that John Worth got to be part of a family and became Nathaniel's friend and brother.
