Tenth Avenue Cowboy — Linda Oatman High

Ben has always dreamed of becoming a cowboy. But when he and his family move from the West to New York City, they have to give up their ranch and their horses.

Ben doesn't like city life, and he misses the ranch. The only horses in the city are pulling wagons, and there are no rivers or plains nearby.

But then one day, Ben learns that there are cowboys in New York City!

Brought to life by dramatic illustrations, this historically based tale reveals how one boy's dream helps him accept his new home.
