Lucky Mischief

Ever since Bailey had come to Occoneechee Neck, Allen’s position as leader of the gang had been challenged. When the two had finally fought, Bailey had won. Now, as the last blow to Allen’s self-possession, Bailey was entering his baby calf in the 4H contest for prize steer-the contest Allen had been waiting for eagerly before his own little calf died. If only he could raise $250! If he could discover some information about the convict who had just escaped, he could then get the reward! The surprising source of a calf for Allen and the strange connection between Bailey and the convict weave an exciting mystery into the life of the young boys.
