SynopsisThirteen-year-old Thomas Hunter has always longed to taste the freedom of life on the Western range, away from the stuffy home and watchful eyes of his well-to-do grandparents in Virginia. So when a letter arrives from his father inviting Thomas to join him and his new family on their Kansas farm,he can already see himself riding across the prairie like a real cowboy, living the true Code of the West.Yet the hardscrabble farm isn't what Thomas expected. There's hardly enough food; his new stepmother doesn't approve of his ways; and he spends all his time mucking out the barn and working the fields.Then, just as Tomas begins to grow restless, his family's herd gets swept up in a cattle stampede and he must follow a group of cowboys to reclaim it. Finally facing the prairie adventures he's dreamed of, he finds himself confronted with challenging decisions, eye-opening action, and an honor to uphold that calls for the real Code of the West. Does Thomas have what it takes to be a true Western hero?, In the 1880s, thirteen-year-old Thomas moves west from the aristocratic Virginia home of his grandparents to a poor Kansas farm to live with a father he barely remembers and a stepmother who doesn't want him there.
