About This Book

A lively children's adventure follows a spirited schoolgirl and her classmates as they navigate social tensions at a boarding school, visit a Southwestern curio shop, and join outdoor life at a distant ranch. Encounters with a proud Western girl, local mysteries about a hidden treasure, cattle round-ups, outlaws, a stampede, and rescue episodes shape a sequence of episodic incidents that test friendships and resourcefulness. Scenes move between schoolroom society and wide-open ranch country, combining everyday school conflicts with frontier action, treasure-hunting suspense, and moments of reconciliation and practical courage.
