Fourmile
by Watt Key
Twelve-year-old Foster knows in his gut that Dax Ganey,
the man dating his widowed mother, is a bad seed.
hen a mysterious stranger arrives at their Alabama farm, a former Army Ranger
in Iraq rambling across the country, and Foster believes he has found an ally against Dax.
The stranger proves a fascinating mentor, full of wisdom and secrets.
And Dax soon has reason to resent not just him and Foster but also Foster's mother.
A spurned Dax will be a dangerous enemy, but Foster is increasingly aware that the stranger
is just as dangerous, if not more so.
From the author of one of the most highly acclaimed
children's survival adventures of the last decade comes
this tautly wound new novel reminiscent of classic westerns,
about a boy caught in the middle of a clash that may turn out to be his own battle to fight.
