Synopsis: When the Circle C ranch decides to host a rodeo competition with two other ranches, dozens of cowboys are eager to prove they're the best riders and ropers in the valley. But they're not the only ones who want to show off their skills--Andi aims to lasso her way to the prizes, even if big brother Chad says the contest isn't for kids.

The roundup is meant to be a time for food, fun, and friendship. But before Andi can prove she's got what it takes to be a real cowgirl, the day turns dangerous. Will a friendly rodeo turn into a range war between ranchers and sheepherders? Can Andi and her family keep their neighbors--and themselves--safe?           

My Rating: 4 stars

My Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Andi reminds me a lot of myself when I was a kid, always having high dreams, and somehow getting into the worst of predicaments. Andi's life revolves around her horses and her home, the Circle C ranch. When the ranch decides to host a rodeo, that's all Andi can dream of, is winning big at the rodeo. Of course, Andi being Andi, she has to find herself in the middle of a big predicament, much bigger than herself. Can she help enough to get them all out of trouble?
I love reading these books, They are easy enough for my youngest to read them. They provide a cute story, history about California and how it was growing up in the late 1800s. Not to mention, it is always fun to see how Andi gets herself out of her latest predicament.

Synopsis: This is so embarrassing. Andi's teacher, Miss Hall, is sick--and Mother is the substitute teacher. What will Andi's friends think?
But it turns out embarrassment is the last thing Andi needs to worry about when two outlaws kidnap Andi and her mother after school in a case of mistaken identity! They can't even tell the kidnappers a mistake has been made without putting themselves in even more danger.
Now they're being held in a remote cabin until Mother can teach the man in charge how to read--and he's willing to go to any length to make it happen. Andi must escape and find help. But can she lead a rescue party back to Mother before the outlaws take their new teacher--and disappear forever?            
             
My Rating: 4 stars

My Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was probably the most suspenseful book out of the series so far. Andi and her mother find themselves kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity when Andi's mother substitutes as teacher. Their freedom depends on Andi's mother's ability to teach a man how to read and how quickly it happens.
I love reading these books, They are easy enough for my youngest to read them. They provide a cute story, history about California and how it was growing up in the late 1800s. Not to mention, it is always fun to see how Andi (and her mother) gets herself out of her latest predicament.
