Tenth Avenue Cowboy

A young man is forced to reimagine cowboy life when he moves with his family to New York City in the early-20th century.

Ben has always dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but when his family moves from the West to New York City in the early-twentieth century, they have to give up their ranch. 

Ben hates his new home: he can’t imagine staying in a place without wide plains or galloping horses. But one day, he learns that the city has its own kind of cowboys, the Tenth Avenue Cowboys.

Featuring a new endnote about the real twentieth-century riders of New York, this adventurous story reveals how one boy’s dream helps him accept his new home.
