      About This Book

      "Send Us a Boy—We'll Send You a Cowboy!"

      It doesn't matter if the kid hates the sight of horses. Or if he still sucks his thumb and wets the bed. He's got to be taught to toe the line. To measure up. To dig in his spurs—because that's the way things are at Box Canyon Boys Camp in Arizona.

      In this remarkable novel, Glendon Swarthout presents an electrifying portrait of six adolescent "misfits" on a desperate mission to save themselves. And, in a society dedicated to one narrow view of success, they learn something important about what it means to be a man.
