About this book
Jessica's ostrich ride turns a stranger's horseback outing into a race along a narrow canyon trail. King Zulu frightens Mr. Hale's horse, and the visitor struggles to keep his seat in the heat. Jessica rides with confidence, but she also notices his discomfort. When his horse is injured, she calls on Pedro, the shepherd, for help and makes coffee while the stranger rests by his hut.
At Sobrante ranch, the welcome offered to a visitor becomes complicated by questions about missing money. A lawyer's accusation against a trusted friend alarms the household, and Jessica fears the effect on her tired mother. Ranch workers gather around the distressed girl as news spreads. Evelyn Raymond brings everyday hospitality, animal mishaps and a financial mystery into this adventure for young readers. Its quick exchanges reveal Jessica's wish to behave generously even when anger and worry make that difficult.
