Crowded Out o’ Crofield

“I’m going to the city!” Jack Ogden declares from the blacksmith’s shop—then a runaway team comes thundering down Crofield’s Main Street, and he races after it.

In sleepy Crofield, fifteen-year-old Jack works at his father’s forge, but the village feels too small and home too crowded for his ambitions. Work is scarce, and his father says Jack must find something else to do; Jack is sure the city holds a chance to make his way. When a pair of runaway horses barrels through town with an empty wagon bouncing behind, he has no time to wonder whether he’s ready. The crowd can only shout as Jack leaps aboard and reaches for the reins. Can he bring the team under control before they smash through Crofield?
