To The Frontier (NAPSA)—Long before he ever hooked up with Annie Oakley and Sitting Bull for his Wild West show, Bill Cody was just a boy whose family was trying to build its own American dream as it headed out into the heartland. wag ADVENTURES0 Ee BUFFALOi7 E. CODY KIMMEL To The Frontier (HarperCollins Children’s Books, $15.95), by E. Cody Kimmel, sweeps readers back into the Wild West. Bill Cody and his family eagerly journey west from Iowa into the unsettled Kansas territory, with its forts, Indians and wild horses. But with all the excitement comes the threat of danger, and Bill quickly learns just how wild the West can be! This expertly researched book is the first in “The Adventures of Young Buffalo Bill,” a series of historical novels about young Buffalo Bill Cody. The authoris a distant relative of the Wild Westfigure, and did her research by traveling the same route from Towa to Kansas as the Codys did. Joan Lowery Nixon, author of the “Orphan Train”series, calls the book, “A perfect blend of history and adventure that takes us behind the exploits of the legendary western showman, Buffalo Bill, to the boy, Bill Cody.” To The Frontier is available at bookstores or from the publisher at www.harperchildrens.com.
