THE BOX M GANG
Hosts Bobbi Jean and Jim Bell rendezvous with author Mark L. Redmond about his passion for the West and his success creating three series for middle grade readers. We'll be taking an in-depth at the first book of his new series, The Box M Gang.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The year is 1875. The Arizona Territory is a wild, sparsely settled place. The Martin family's Box M Ranch is ten miles from their nearest neighbor and twenty miles from Tucson. Fifteen-year-old Ruth, fourteen-year-old Thad, twelve-year-old Sarah, ten-year-old Bart, and eight-year-old Billy have been doing most of the work to keep the Box M running. Consequently, when Pa passes away, the Martin siblings face little change in their daily routine as far as their chores go. They do, however, face an ominous threat.
Ruth, Thad, and Sarah know they can continue to run the Box M without Pa. Ruth is confident she, Thad, and Sarah can protect their secret from the occasional travelers who visit the Box M, but she's concerned about little brothers Bart and Billy.
During the next few months, visitors to the Box M include the sheriff, a bounty hunter, cattle rustlers, and a family with five small children. All of them pose a threat to the Martins. Can they keep their secret and remain on the Box M? Saddle up, and let's find out!
