Ben Thurston of Thurston Ranch: Adventures of a Ranch Boy
Every morning at Thurston Ranch begins the same way - Captain Redfeather the rooster, crowing at exactly five-thirty until twelve-year-old Ben Thurston gives up on sleep and heads outside.
From collecting warm eggs at dawn to exploring Crawdad Creek with his four dogs - steady old Odey, the giant gray Cane Corso Major, gentle white giant Sargent, and the unstoppable border collie pup Bandit - Ben's days are full of the kind of adventures you only find when you're paying close attention to the world around you.
When a wild overnight storm floods the creek and strands his favorite hen on the far bank, Ben must make a brave decision. And through it all, he's got his sister Alayna at his side, a cast of very opinionated cats, and a ranch that feels like the best place on earth.
Ben Thurston of Thurston Ranch: Adventures of a Ranch Boy celebrates hard work, the bond between a boy and his animals, and the quiet magic of a life lived close to the land.
Perfect for readers ages 7-12, animal lovers, and any family that knows the particular joy of muddy boots and a good dog at your side.
