Onward was an exciting book about his journey to the North Pole and the obstacles he overcame. The book is full of surprises, twists, and turns. If you like adventure this would be the book for you.

The book Onward by Dolores Johnson brings to life the story of Matthew Henson. This book is filled with adventures from as far north as it can get. Iwould recomend this book to anyone who enjoys learning about our country's past.
