Book Description |
| The Search for the Silver City sends young Sam Bartlett and his companions deep into the rugged American Southwest on a daring quest sparked by a half-lost tale of a mysterious “silver city” hidden somewhere beyond the desert. What begins as a hopeful expedition quickly becomes a test of endurance and courage as the boys face blistering heat, treacherous canyons, hostile outlaws, and the uncertainty of chasing a legend. Through danger, friendship, setbacks, and flashes of triumph, Sam learns that true treasure may lie not in silver, but in bravery, loyalty, and the grit to keep going when the trail grows dark. Rich in suspense and frontier atmosphere, James Otis offers one of his most thrilling adventure tales. |
