Excellent - a must read!

Attempting to return to St. Louis Crockett, Flavius, Heather and Becky face a wildfire and buffalo stampede that, unknown to them, takes them way off course. Soon they have to face the Comanche. The book is filled with almost non-stop action, from fires, buffalo, being lost in the darkness, fever, being held captive and rescue attempts, not to mention treachery and lost horses. So much in such a short book left me breathless, I don't think the cliff-hanger chapter endings were needed to ensure that I would continue reading to find out what hardships the small group of travelers would face next. I also liked how David Thompson balanced elements of the story such as Becky's innocent views of the new country she finds herself in, the protection of her scared mother and Davy's mistrusts. Thompson also passes on information about Crockett's past in such a way it's not like a history lesson but a natural part of the story. On reaching the end I've found myself doing something that is rare for me and that's immediately beginning the next in the series. Excellent!
