Ten-year-old Danny yearns for responsibility and a chance to prove
his skills. He desperately wants to pitch in and ease the
difficulties that pioneer life presents to his family as they
manage their large fruit and livestock farm in 1894.
Life on the farm is hard, though, and Danny, with his unusually
small stature, struggles to gain strength to help his father and
the hired hands. After all, there are difficult chores to tackle:
chopping and hauling wood, caring for the workhorses, slopping the
pigs, and hunting food.
With sheer determination, Danny takes on everything his father
allows, working hard to help ensure his family's well-being. What
Danny comes to realize, though, is that it's not a person's size
that counts. When he confronts a rogue cougar, runaway horses, and
a classroom bully, Danny must use his wits, sensibilities, and
instincts to prevail.
Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder will find Danny's adventures
particularly satisfying. Come along with Danny as he learns about
both the harsh realities and simple pleasures of rural life in New
York.
