About This Item
Winner of the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year Award and the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People It is 1915, and Sam Ferrier and his father arrive by train in Curlew, Alberta, to build a new home for the family. When they finally reach their parcel of land, Sam can see nothing but endless stretches of grassland and blue sky. It is nothing like their old home in Iowa, and he wonders why his restless father ever decided to bring the family to this lonely, barren land. In time, though, the house is built, and the rest of the family joins them. Gradually Sam discovers that there is much more to the flat and featureless prairie than he realized -- gleaming white skulls, torrential thunderstorms and, best of all, a new friend and a brave, resourceful horse named Prince.

About Deb's Book Paradise
We hand-select our slightly used often new condition and one-of-a-kind book selections. We treat them with the dignity they deserve. We also publish titles that you can buy through us. These purchases help support sustainable indie publishing. We may be a little guy but our books are HUGE. Deb is not only a lifelong book collector (hoarder) she is the author of 13 traditionally published books. Her most recent is a bestselling memoir written with the youngest member of the Manson Family Cult. Deb's entire adult life has been spent selecting books for her husband's literary agency, writing books, publishing books and now selling them to you. By the way, Deb's first job aside from getting fired from a fast-food restaurant, was at B. Dalton's Booksellers. Doesn't that bring you back?
