Ben is a Western boy who has always dreamed of becoming a cowboy. When his family moves to Hell's Kitchen in New York, Ben feels ostracized and misses his old home, until he discovers that New York has cowboys too. Detailing a lesser known piece of history, the story tells the tale of the Tenth Avenue Cowboys who warned people in the city of incoming trains. I was excited to read this story because I was unfamiliar with the topic, but unfortunately the book fell through for me. I thought the history aspect was interesting but the rest of the plot left me bored. ( )

The story is about a young boy named Ben who moved to a poor city in New York called Hell's Kitchen. He did not like it there because he had no friends and was nothing like his home until he saw the Tenth Avenue Cowboys. Where he was raised he had always dreamed of being a cowboy and riding horses. Even in a new setting he found a way to make that dream come true because ten years later he was able to join the Tenth Avenue Cowboys and ride horses and warn people of when the train was coming.

This is an interesting story. I didn't know about the 10th street cowboys, but I can see how that makes sense that they existed. When I read a story like this one, I wonder how many other great stories are never told. I really enjoyed it. ( )

This was the story about a boy and his family who moved to New York City from the Wild West. At first the boy is very lonely and misses his home terribly, but then he discovers that there are cowboys in the city too. This makes him very happy because that is what he wants to be.
