A Small White Scar by K.A. Nuzum

Enough, already!  Sure, you love your family, but sometimes you have to get away!  Did you ever feel like that?  Well, that's how it is with Will in A Small White Scar by K. A. Nuzum.  Will has always looked after his twin brother, Denny, who has Down syndrome.  But now that they are fifteen, Will has his sights set on something for himself for a change.  He wants to join the rodeo circuit and prove he is a real cowboy, a grown man, and more than just a nursemaid.  When Denny decides to follow Will on his journey through the Colorado wilderness, however, their very survival depends upon the choices that Will must make for both of them.
