Overview

Matthew Morrison would rather be anywhere else than Omaha, Texas-especially when his summer plans of watching the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park are replaced by dusty roads, chores, and life with his grandparents in the summer of 1944. Certain his vacation is ruined, Matt braces himself for weeks of boredom. That is, until Texas has other plans. Soon Matt meets Joshua, a fearless local boy with a quick wit, a head full of answers, and the uncanny ability to ride mules bareback. Together, they plunge into a summer packed with danger, mischief, and unforgettable excitement. From run-ins with troublemaking brothers and suspicious rustlers to a heart-pounding tornado and an unexpected visit from the Texas Rangers, every day brings a new challenge. Life in northeast Texas is anything but quiet-especially with two loyal dogs, a belligerent rooster named Roscoe, a rabid fox on the loose, and a band of local boys eagerly counting down to the Watermelon Festival in nearby Naples. As Matt navigates friendship, courage, and the unpredictable rhythms of country life, he discovers that adventure often comes when you least expect it. By summer's end, Matt learns that while a baseball game can be thrilling, nothing compares to the freedom, danger, and wonder of roaming the Texas countryside-and the memories made along the way. A heartfelt and action-filled historical adventure, Trouble in Texas: A Summer Adventure celebrates friendship, resilience, and the kind of summer that changes a boy forever.
