THE TREASURE SECRETS OF JUNIOR cactus cave
The Treasure Secrets of Junior: Cactus Cave by Stan A. Peña is a story about courage, family, and the power of listening. The story takes place in the wide open lands of a Texas ranch. The book follows Junior as he joins his father and brothers on a deer hunt. Excited but determined to prove himself, Junior is trusted to go out on his own for the first time. His father gives him clear instructions: follow the plan and take no shortcuts.
