Parents planning a dude ranch summer will find this book just what the children will want to read. It's too bad it isn't a better book. Not up to A MILE OF FREEDOM, its predecessor. The same family reappears in this story of a ranch vacation, and there is plenty of adventure and a background that rings true. For boys and girls, from ten to fourteen. --Kirkus
