Summary:

"Twelve-year-old Jem Coulter couldn't be more excited. His sheriff father must escort a prisoner to Sacramento, and he's leaving the ranch in Jem's care. ... However, Jem quickly discovers that being the 'man of the family' for two weeks is not how he imagined it. Everything goes wrong. A wolf threatens the herd, and an injured stranger invades the Coulters' lives. Then Jem's horse goes missing, along with Pa's good rifle ... Jem won't let his father down. He'll do anything to recover his family's stolen property -- even venture into a canyon filled with unexpected danger"--Page 4 of Cover.
