When Fresno is hit with an unexpected outbreak of deadly scarlet fever,
Andi Carter is scared. Her town friends are getting sick and school is
closed until it passes. Far from the danger, at least Andi has her horse
Taffy and plenty of work on the Circle C ranch to distract her.
But is she really safe? First one ranch hand, then two, and then her
brother Mitch fall ill. Mother is convinced that the only way to protect
Andi from this terrible disease is to send her far away to fussy Aunt
Rebecca in San Francisco.
The noisy city and Aunt Rebecca's bossy ways may be worse than scarlet
fever. But then Andi has an idea that might help save her friends back
home . . .
