High Trail To Danger

Sarah and Susannah mother has died and their aunt and uncle has moved in the house and wants all the hidden money. Sarah and Susannah meet together and talk about how they need to find thier father and bring him home. Sarah is the one who has to go because she is the oldest. On her journey she meets a handsome young man named Jeremy and she really likes him. They both were going in the same direction so they travled together. Then She meets another man named Clint and she also likes him. While trying to find her father she found out that he killed a man. And romance is flowing between Sarah and Jermey and also between Sarah and Clint also. Sarah has been kissed by both of them and really liked it. Two people has died and they were both friend of his friends. You have to read the book to find out the rest. This is the best book I have ever read.

Amazing

I really liked this book because it shows that women can have just as much detrimation as men to get done what they want to have done. This book also is one of those books that makes you want to find out what happens next. It keeps you turning the page and guessing what'll happen next. It has adventure and a little romance which is one of the types of books I like.

Don't judge a book by its cover

I went to the library to look at Joan Lowery Nixon's books since she is my favorite author, when I saw "Hightrail to Danger" I thought it would be boring but when I got it I couldn't stop reading it I finished it in 1/2 a day. My only problem is I can't find the sequal! I hope she marries Jeremy.

Despite the reviews a great book

Despite the other reviews, I liked this book a lot. Its about this girl named Sarah and her sister Susana (who doesnt really become a main character until the next book) who ran this boarding house with their mother, but when their mother dies, their evil aunt and uncle take over and try to steal their money and close the house. So Sarah takes what little money they have left and sets off across the country to a small mining town in search of their father, who she hasnt seen in years, in hopes of having him come back and save the boarding house. On the way, she meets Jermey, a rich reporter, and Clint, the driver of the wagon taking her to her father. There are alot of twists and turns along the way and a big suprise when they get there!
