The Big Sky is the first of A.B. Guthrie's epic adventure novels of America's vast frontier. It is a story as great as the land that inspired it, sweeping westward from Kentucky, up the Missouri River into Indian Country. Towering above the novel is Guthrie's unforgettable hero, Boone Caudill, a true mountain man driven by a raging hunger for life and a longing for the blue sky and brown earth of the big, wild places. A legend before he turns 20, Boone becomes a powerful White Savage, an untamed life force that only one woman, the beautiful daughter of a Blackfoot chief, would dare to love. It is this magnificent spirit that Guthrie celebrates with his vivid storytelling--the glory of the bigness, the wildness, the freedom and undying dream of the West.

The Coot Club is back and better than ever in this ninth volume of Arthur Ransome’s beloved SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS series. When Joe, Pete, and Bill are wrongly accused of casting boats adrift in the middle of the night, the young crew of the mighty Death and Glory vow to find the real culprits and prove their innocence. Together with their fellow Coot Club members, they form the Big Six, modeled after the greatest detective group in the world, and embark on a fast paced, hilarious hunt that will thrill Ransome enthusiasts and young fans of nautical adventure. “Mr. Ransome again equals or perhaps excels himself, and every boy will vote this detective story super.” –New Statesman “The adventure, though engrossing, is only part of the book in which the cry and flight of birds, the smell of water and tarry ropes, and the jargon of men and boys brought up to use their hands and senses are all delightfully plain to us.” –Times Literary Supplement
