A history mystery set in the 1860s. When Run Through Fire, a half-white Cheyenne boy, is captured in the aftermath of the Battle of the Washita, he makes a daring escape. Run Through Fire leaves his mother and the other prisoners and sets out to find his white father in a place he has heard about called Boulder, in the Colorado Territory. Along the way he meets General Custer, Buffalo Bill, and a brave and funny friend, a girl he calls "Orange Head," and changes his name to Billy Tull, son of William Tull. In Boulder, a ghost appears and disappears as he uncovers the secret the town thought was buried. Elaine Pease is the author of two children's picture books. Ghost Over Boulder Creek is her first chapter book, but she promises it will not be her last. Learn more about Elaine at her website. The evocative cover art for Ghost Over Boulder Creek was drawn by Cathy Morrison, a Colorado artist who specializes in book cover art. |
