Me and Billy

(4) 4-6 Possum and his friend Billy run away from their orphanage, hoping to find a rumored treasure in the mountains. Along the way, the boys hawk elixir for a con man and help out a farm family with a tragic secret. Although the ethical conflicts between Possum and his less-than-honest best friend are well depicted, many elements of this western adventure are overly familiar.
