The Adventures of Buckfart, Seabiscuit, Pedro and the Gang
The Adventures of Buckfart, Seabiscuit, Pedro and the Gang gives readers twisters, ghosts, and good old-fashioned fun. The first in a three-part series, readers are introduced to Buckfart, Seabiscuit, Pedro, and the rest of the gang of boys from Tory Forks, Minnesota. Their adventures take them from fishing and swimming to tornados, illegal moonshine stills, and a visit to the cemetery in search of the ghost of Mr. Swartz and the tree from which he hanged himself. Readers are given the chance to lose themselves in the year 1943 and a time when people take “love thy neighbor” to heart, and the pain of war is shared by all. The boys from Tory Forks will entertain readers of all ages—those who want to lose themselves in nostalgia for days gone by, and those who can relate to kids on the verge of adulthood, experiencing the thrills of life as they existed during that era.

The Adventures of Buckfart, Seabiscuit, Pedro and the Gang: Kill the Big One at Hawkins Bar
The boys are back! This time they’re up against some big challenges. In the second book of the Adventures of Buckfart, Seabiscuit, Pedro and the Gang trilogy, a group of teenagers from a small farming community in the Midwest find themselves high in the Trinity Alps, facing challenges beyond their wildest dreams. Buckfart, Seabiscuit, Pedro and the gang head to California, looking for adventure and they leave the Bay area on their uncle’s fishing boat. As they travel north to the harbor of Trinidad, they encounter wild weather and a Japanese submarine. Then it’s back to Uncle Dominic’s mountain ranch, to join the local Indians in their quest for the mystical Firestone. There they come across the elusive and mysterious Bigfoot—called Sasquatch by the native Indians—and upon learning of their discovery, the locals set out to kill the creature.
Danger and adventure abound in this exciting installment, and for one of the Tory Forks boys, romance is in the air. Set in the 1940s, the trilogy continues to evoke nostalgia for simpler times, while entertaining readers of all ages with the timeless adventuresome spirit of teenagers and their uncanny ability to get into trouble.
