Seventh-grader Blake Monroe teams up with the ghost of his Wild West ancestor, a rowdy cowboy named Gray, to track down a missing ransom before an evil outlaw can get his hands on it.
He might not have the muscles, the mustache, or even the cool hat, but seventh-grader Blake Monroe has the heart of a cowboy. He just needs the chance to prove himself. So when the ghost of his rowdy Wild-West ancestor needs his help, Blake’s ready to ride. They begin their search for a long-hidden ransom, a treasure that Gray, the ghost, is determined to find . . . only life's a little more confusing for him than during the 1800s.
The duo sets out on the trail, but their adventure is derailed when they realize they aren’t the only ones after the ransom—Gray’s old enemy, a deadly outlaw named Jack Wallace, is in pursuit. And that’s when Blake realizes it is going to take more than a cool hat to get them out of this one.
Professional Reviews
Never a dull page
This book had my attention from the get go. It is exciting, imaginative, playful, and clever. There are elements the author created between the physical world and ghost world I haven't seen before and really enjoyed. Any avid young reader is sure to get attached to these characters. I have. Next adventure please.
Wonderful read
This is a wonderfully written vividly imaginative book. I was not able to put it down. I read it from cover to cover in one night and I can't wait for the next adventure again. Adam did a wonderful job on describing the atmosphere of the book and as he described each place you felt as if you were actually there. The reading was easy and any middle school child will love this book. I loved Gray and his misunderstandings of this time. But it was a great adventure and I am ready for the next.
Excellent Read
This book is well written and is hard to put down once you get started. Can't wait for the next volume to see what happens next.
When vacationing at a mysterious Maine lighthouse, ten-year-old Dylan befriends a ghostly lighthouse keeper who must protect Dylan from danger after he learns a very big secret.
