Cassie and Jasper: Kidnapped Cattle

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.
