Book description
A recipe for trouble for ranch owner, Sandy Scott. But her daughter,
Kirstie is undaunted by her mother's warnings. She's at her happiest
riding the trails through the tall forests and deep canyons of the
Meltwater Range...
Steamboat Charlie, a big black gelding, arrives at Half-Moon Ranch with
a bad reputation for bucking off his riders. But Kirstie likes the black
gelding's playful nature and happily works with him, until a random
gunshot during a forest ride shatters the peace. Was the shot an
accident or deliberate? Can Kirstie uncover the mystery - and find out
the truth about Steamboat's past? Born and brought up in Harrogate,
Yorkshire, Jenny Oldfield went on to study English at Birmingham
University, where she did research on the Bronte Novels and on
Children's Literature. She then worked as a teacher, before deciding to
concentrate on writing. She writes novels for both children and adults
and, when she can escape from her desk, likes to spend time outdoors.
She loves the countryside and enjoys walking, gardening, playing tennis,
riding and travelling with her two daughters, Kate and Eve.
