The Saddle Boys of the Rockies; Or, Lost on Thunder Mountain

Two boys. One forbidden mountain. A dare that becomes a matter of life and death. Frank Haywood and Bob Archer have heard the stories their whole lives: Thunder Mountain groans with inexplicable thunder, and those who venture too close vanish. When a rival named Peg Grant taunts them into proving their courage, the two friends set out to unravel the mountain's secrets. What begins as a test of bravado quickly turns treacherous as the Rockies reveal their teeth: treacherous paths, blinding storms, and the creeping suspicion that the legends might not be legends at all. Peg and his crew are somewhere on the mountain too, pursuing their own agenda, and the boys must navigate both the land and the rivalry before the mountain claims them. Written in the rip-roaring tradition of early 20th-century boys' adventure fiction, this novel delivers exactly what it promises: wild horses, dangerous cliffs, and two friends learning what they're made of when the chips are down. The supernatural elements hover at the edge of credibility, which is precisely where they should be. Perfect for readers who want their adventure served with a side of frontier mystique.
