Rover Boys Out West

The Rover Boys head west in this energetic adventure from the early juvenile fiction that defined a generation of American storytelling. Brothers Tom, Jack, and Sam Rover encounter train robbers, cattle rustlers, and hostile frontiersmen as they stake their claim in the open range. But the West proves less dangerous than the scheming rivals waiting back East: the nefarious Josiah Crabtree and the bickering Baxter family haven't given up their attempts to best the Rover boys. What the book lacks in literary sophistication it delivers in pure, rollicking adventure: quick resolutions, loyal friendships, and the satisfaction of virtue triumphant. These books created the template for decades of American children's series that followed. Perfect for readers who cherish vintage adventure tales, want to understand the DNA of series fiction, or simply enjoy a quick, uncomplicated ride with characters who've been entertaining young readers for over a century.
