Silverado Summer (The Silverado Journals)

By A. Cort Sinnes

At the center of Silverado Summer is Matt Eskellson who, at the age of 14, unravels a mystery of secrets and promises kept locked away for over 100 years. Home from boarding school for the summer, Matt's adventure begins in 1967, when his uncle's prize miniature pony is stolen from the Twin Oaks Pony Farm in St. Helena. When he finds something mysterious left behind in the horse trough, it sets into motion a series of events that even he has trouble believing. A natural born writer and artist, Matt sets his story down in a series of journals - the only problem is, he made a solemn promise not to have them published or to share them with anyone for 45 years. One day in 2012, with the deadline about to expire, he let his grandson read the journals. What happens as a result is an exciting tale of wits and bravery, set in one of the world's most beautiful small valleys.
