Books with author Daniel W. Carter

In northern Missouri in 1843, Jaden Kincaid and his four cousins named themselves “The Missouri Five.” They lived, worked, and played on a four-thousand-acre farm where their fathers were employed by the owner to do the farm work. Although work-life was hard, money was in short supply, and their homes were very simple log structures with tin roofs, the boys enjoyed adventures together and learned some important life lessons. Join in with The Missouri Five as they explore a cave, deal with angry hornets, attempt skunk surgery, save a life, have an embarrassing moment at the swimming hole, deal with bullies at school, and much more! And be encouraged as these twelve- and thirteen-year-old boys learn about life and live out their faith with their families through many of these adventures and challenges. Note: Content safe for all ages and is easily read by ages ten years and older. Published by Burkhart Books, Bedford, Texas - www.BurkhartBooks.com
