Abstract
"Your daddy's in trouble, boy," said the voice. "It's up to you from here, son."
A teenage boy walks the Oregon Trail in search of his missing father
Has something happened to Daniel's father? The warning might have been just a dream, but Daniel can't take that chance. He leaves Missouri to search for his father along the Oregon Trail.
It is 1844 and the West is a wilderness. Trouble lurks all along the Oregon Trail-and trouble finds Daniel right away. One stormy night he barely escapes being shot by a horse thief. To protect himself, Daniel joins a wagon train, where he meets the feisty and outspoken Rosalie. Yet the horse thief returns, and this time he kidnaps Daniel and Rosalie. Can the two of them join forces long enough to escape?
