Cowboy Ghost

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.
