The third book in the award-winning Range Riders series
Cassie sometimes pretended she owned the family's ranch, that the cattle
were hers to care for and the land was hers to watch. But one day Pa
sits her down and tells her something shocking: the ranch is struggling
financially, and if the cows and calves aren't brought down safely from
high summer pastures before the weather turns cold, the ranch will go
under. Determined, Cassie and her best friend, Jasper, come up with a
plan: they would secretly head for the mountains and bring the cattle
down themselves.
Trail riding, camping, and herding cows is nothing new for the seasoned
ranch kids, but an early snowstorm, rustlers, and other dangers turn the
weekend into a fight for survival for kids and cattle alike. It will
take all of their courage, cowboy skills, and some horseshoe-charm good
luck to get everyone back home.
