Beyond the Tall Grass (Billy Bones, #1)

Beschreibung

Pioneers on their way to the Oregon Territory are forced to leave many of their priceless possessions along a wagon trail at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. When the trail is abandoned, the powerful dreams and emotions tied up in these lost treasures cause a great rift, and all the artifacts and prairie animals in the vicinity vanish. THE AMAZING JOURNEY BEGINS MANY YEARS LATER, when the shepherd dog "Bones" chases a deer through a mysterious passageway that suddenly opens between two ancient trees on either side of the wagon trail. Inside this other dimension, the two animals find a storybook world and are transformed into creatures who think and speak like the pioneers who migrated along the same trail. Explore this "Enchantment" with "Billy Bones" and learn of his unique psychic powers. Run with the dog and the deer in the exciting races during the Grand Fair and take sides when a rising controversy concerning the ancient human artifacts threatens to tear the little society apart.
