Life on the Texas frontier, however, comes with danger and many challenges.Maddie, an incoming 7th grader in the 21st century, has just lost her father in a deadly shooting. Her mother insists that they move to Brazos County, former home of Maddie's grandparents. Out of curiosity and an interest in rock collecting, Maddie and her younger brother Carl venture out to explore the Richard Carter Historical Park located directly behind their new home.Through an unlikely use of technology, Maddie and Carl experience some real Texas history that requires their 21st century help. If she can avoid the school bully who is out to get her, Maddie will race against time to help a frontier friend in need.
