From School Library Journal
Grades 5-8--In this whirlwind adventure, Meg and Alison find themselves fighting for survival as they prepare to spend the summer on Mustang Mountain Ranch in the Rockies. Met at the airport by a driver, Jesse, and Alison's cousin Becky, the four are caught in an unexpected snowstorm on the way to the ranch, and the truck slides off the road. Unloading the two horses from the trailer they'd been towing, the teens and the driver try to continue on to the ranch, only to be confronted with other crises. Meg and Becky go in search of the staging area for help but come upon a small cargo plane that has crashed instead; Jesse and Alison are left to cope with an angry grizzly bear. This story is full of holes, including the fact that both passengers and a horse survive the crash with minor injuries. However, for readers who are willing to suspend disbelief, this is an action-packed page-turner with three feisty heroines.

Product Description


A story of adventure and self-discovery.

Each book in the Mustang Mountain series is a thrilling read filled with stories of friendship, adventure and intrigue.

Meg would do almost anything to go to Mustang Mountain Ranch -- even put up with her snobby friend, Alison. They're going to spend the whole summer with Alison's cousin Becky on a ranch high in the Rocky Mountains. Meg wants a horse so badly. Maybe she'll find a horse on the ranch that will be her special friend. But at the last minute, their trip is delayed and they head into the mountains too late. A sudden storm, an icy road -- an adventure begins that will take Meg, Alison and Becky far off the beaten track to a place where cougars, wild mustangs and grizzly bears roam free. To reach Mustang Mountain, they will need every scrap of courage they possess.
