From our Purveyor of Children's Books:
It's always exciting to discover a new title that takes a fresh look at a much loved story. {>}J.R. Sanders has done just that with this new book loosely based on the character of "Little Joe" from the iconic Western ballad, "Little Joe the Wrangler."

Synopsis:
New York City orphan Joe Monday dreams of finding a family and of being a cowboy. Things look up when he's sent West on an "orphan train," until he ends up with a pair of pig farmers who only want the free labor he provides. Joe runs away with a cattle drive headed north from Texas, though the cowboys are unsure of their young tag-along. But when disaster strikes, Joe proves that even a kid can be a hero, and learns that dreams really can come true.

What Others are Saying:
"John Sanders has not only written a wonderful story, but he has reopened the Big Book of the American Cowboy for a whole new generation of children to enjoy."
