| Publisher Description: Dark magic meets the Wild West in Brad McLelland & Louis Sylvester's The Fang of Bonfire Crossing: Legends of the Lost Causes, second in the rip-roaring middle-grade adventure series filled with scrappy heroes and diabolical villains. Keech Blackwood and his band of fellow orphans demand justice for their fallen families. But the road to retribution is a long and hard-fought journey. After defeating Bad Whiskey Nelson, the man who burned Keech's home to the ground, the Lost Causes have a new mission: find Bonfire Crossing, the mysterious land that holds clues to the whereabouts of the all-powerful Char Stone. Along the way they'll have to fend off a shapeshifting beast, a swarm of river monsters, and a fearsome desperado named Big Ben Loving who conjures tornadoes out of thin air. It's an epic standoff between the Lost Causes and the outlaw Reverend Rose, a powerful sorcerer who would be unstoppable with the Stone in his possession. With the world--and vengeance--hanging in the balance, the Lost Causes are ready for battle. Praise for Legends of the Lost Causes: A Junior Library Guild Selection This is a fun and exciting story, written with the utmost respect for the Osage culture. --Wah-Zha-Zhi Cultural Center A rollicking adventure filled with mystery and magic that crackles like a brush fire. --Emma Trevayne, author of The House of Months and Years Thrilling, dark, and full of heart, this is a Western like none I've ever read. I loved it. --Stefan Bachmann, author of The Peculiar and The Whatnot |
