Description
From the Back Cover
How to raise $500? Joss Melborne had to raise $500 if his father was ever to walk again. The only question was how? Joss’s city cousin Sterling was no help at all. And when Joss’s collie was mauled by a mad sow, it seemed Joss would have to give up the idea of joining the hog drive and selling the Melborne herd in Prairie Town. But Joss, Sterling, and the collie did join the drive, only to be expelled from it almost immediately. From then on the boys had to drive the hogs through rough hills and over unknown territory all by themselves. HOG WILD! is an exciting, suspenseful story for pre-teen-age readers.
