Cowboy Ghost

By Robert Newton Peck

Book Overview

At 16, Titus Timothy MacRobertson can rope a wild mustang and round up stray cattle on his family's ranch. But Tee has yet to convince his domineering father that he's as much of a man as his older brother Micah. To really prove himself, he must ride with Micah on a risky cattle drive through the Florida wilderness. When Tee has to face a raging storm and dangerous stampede, a mysterious presence he calls his "Cowboy Ghost" reassures him. But when real tragedy strikes, will his courage hold? Robert Newton Peck is the author of A Day No Pigs Will Die, winner of the ALA Best Books for Young Adults. He tells this stirring story of a boy becoming a man in the colorful language of the frontier. Johnny Heller performs it with such a flair that you can feel the dust in the air and hear the stampede roar.

good book

This book was a pretty good one. It had everything a great book should have in it like a father that pays no attention to the young one and the older one gets all of the attention. The young Titus reminds me of... well...me. I'm not trying to be personal,but this book interested me for just that simple fact. Thumbs up all the way.
