Far Past the Frontier

An empty barrel bucks in a stolen wagon as Big Pete Ellis tears away into the September dusk. At the store door, Ree Kingdom and John Jerome hear the alarm: Jim Huson may be dying, and the outlaw is already running.

In post-Revolutionary Connecticut, the two boys are counting down the weeks until they head west to make a home in the Ohio wilderness. But when the notorious Ellis strikes down a store clerk and steals a farmer’s team, Ree and John join the pursuit—riding into the moonlit dark with Captain Bowen’s pistols and no certainty how dangerous their quarry may be. Their grand plans for the frontier will have to wait; first, they must help bring a violent fugitive to justice. Can two eager young adventurers keep up with Big Pete Ellis—and live to begin the journey they’ve dreamed of?
