Pages : 275
Book Description
When Jake, a powerful young bull owned by a cantankerous farmer named Bingo Reilly, escapes his pen and runs loose through a quaint Vermont town, the ensuing furor starkly reveals the state's parallel universes. Populating one are the yuppie city folk who moved to the state over the last few decades and now dominate it politically, and in the other are the people who have long lived there, some for many generations. The two universes get along well enough, mainly because they have little to do with one another: one prefers Mozart and golf, the other Emmylou Harris and Friday night Bingo. Nonetheless Jake's dash for freedom raised conciousness on all sides, including Jake's.

Book Description
Every great adventure starts with curiosity, and for Jake, Emma, and Max, it all began with a simple bike ride on a sunny afternoon. They never imagined that their curiosity would lead them to one of the most thrilling and mysterious places they had ever seen—a decommissioned Titan II missile silo hidden deep in the Nevada desert. Soaring Dreams: Jake's Missile Silo Adventures takes you on a journey through the eyes of three ordinary kids who stumble upon an extraordinary piece of history. Beneath the surface of the desert lies a massive underground structure, once home to a powerful missile system built during the Cold War. The silo, now purchased by an eccentric new owner with plans to transform it into a one-of-a-kind hotel, is filled with forgotten rooms, hidden tunnels, and stories waiting to be uncovered. As Jake and his friends explore the silo’s depths, they discover more than just rusted machines and dusty control panels—they uncover secrets about how the world once stood on the brink of disaster, and how this underground fortress was built to protect those who operated it. Along the way, they face challenges, solve mysteries, and form an unbreakable bond as they navigate the silo's hidden passages. This book is about adventure, friendship, and the thrill of discovery. While the silo may be long decommissioned and safe, its history is alive in every corner, offering a glimpse into a world that few people get to see. Soaring Dreams is a celebration of curiosity and courage, inviting readers of all ages to imagine what it would be like to explore a place where history and imagination come together. Join Jake, Emma, and Max on their unforgettable adventure through the Titan II missile silo, and discover that sometimes, the greatest journeys happen just beneath the surface.
