The Kid Who Couldn't Leave The Yard Lee Stanlick

Do you believe it's possible for two people who haven't met to share a dream? When Jack dreams of saving Tika from a man who is chasing her, his best friend tells him that he's had a 'true dream, ' that the girl from his dream is real, she's had the same nightmare and the badman is really after Jack. During a wild winter storm in 1904, young Daniel Trapper is accidentally shot while searching for an outlaw hideout in the forest named Skunk's Misery. Freezing and near death, he's rescued and taken home by a mysterious group of men on horseback and a young native girl named Rose. Other than Daniel's family, no one believes his story and they never learn who his rescuers were. Sixty-three years later, his grandson, Jack, has a nightmare and reveals to Daniel events from his rescue that he couldn't possibly know. What part does Jack's friend, Pauly, a young boy with cerebral palsy, play in his grandson's revelations? Are Jack's hallucinations more than they appear and is Jack really in danger? Are shared dreams real and are all of our lives as interconnected as Pauly says? Learn about the astonishing sacrifice and love between two boys, and the fantastical series of events that may finally lead Daniel to the answers he's been searching for his entire life.
