Fang of Bonfire Crossing: Legends of the Lost Causes - book 2

Dark magic meets the Old West in this rip-roaring middle-grade adventure series filled with scrappy heroes and diabolical villains.

Keech Blackwood and his band of fellow orphans demand justice for their fallen families.

But the road to retribution is a long and hard-fought journey.

After defeating Bad Whiskey Nelson, the man who burned Keech's home to the ground, the Lost Causes have a new mission: find Bonfire Crossing, the mysterious land that holds clues to the whereabouts of the all-powerful Char Stone.

Along the way they'll have to fend off a shapeshifting beast, a swarm of river monsters, and a fearsome desperado named Big Ben Loving who conjures tornadoes out of thin air.

It's an epic standoff between the Lost Causes and the outlaw Reverend Rose, a powerful sorcerer who would be unstoppable with the Stone in his possession.

With the world-and vengeance-hanging in the balance, the Lost Causes are ready for battle.Praise for Legends of the Lost Causes:A Junior Library Guild Selection"This is a fun and exciting story, written with the utmost respect for the Osage culture." -Wah-Zha-Zhi Cultural Center"A rollicking adventure filled with mystery and magic that crackles like a brush fire." -Emma Trevayne, author of The House of Months and Years "Thrilling, dark, and full of heart, this is a Western like none I've ever read.
