|  | Grasslands by Debra Seely
Thomas feels restless and fenced in, growing up in Virginia under the watchful eyes of his well-to-do grandparents. He longs to move out west and become a cowboy, following the Code of the West, like the men in the dime novels he reads on the sly. Then he gets a chance--the father he hasn't seen in years invites him to join him and his new family in Kansas. The boy moves west with his hopes and dreams high. He imagines he and his father riding the range against the western sky. But Kansas isn't what he expected. His father's only a dirt-poor farmer, not a romantic cowboy. Thomas has to make due sharing a too-small bed with a stepbrother and a too-small house with a stepmother who doesn't want him there. What happened to Thomas's dreams of high adventures, challenges, and excitement? Thomas finds out all too quickly when his family's herd is swept up in a stampede of cattle. Now he's on his own facing the real challenges of the West. Will he be able to overcome them? Or will he fail? AUTHOR: Debra Seely
