Brave Tom; Or, the Battle That Won
Brave Tom; Or, the Battle That Won
The circus arrives in Briggsville like a fever dream for a small Pennsylvania village, and young Tom Gordon has been counting the days. But just as the tents go up and the band strikes up, illness strikes Tom down. He lies in bed while the Greatest Show on Earth plays without him, until a farmer comes screaming through town with news that changes everything. The tiger called Tippo Sahib has broken free. As rumors of attacks and chaos spread through the village, Tom musters what little strength he has and, together with his friend Jim Travers, steps into the darkness to face not just a man-eating beast, but his own fear. This is 19th-century American adventure fiction at its purest: a story where an ordinary boy confronts extraordinary danger and discovers what he's truly made of. It will appeal to readers who enjoy historical adventure, nostalgic tales of small-town courage, and stories where heroes aren't born, they're forged.
