The Adventures of Nathan T. Riggins: Books Four, Five, and Six: The Last Stubborn Buffalo in Nevada/Never Dance with a Bobcat/Hawks Don't Say Good-Bye

by Stephen Bly

Nothing about Nathan T. Riggins' young life is dull. He's always finding himself in one crazy situation after another--from the time he buys a buffalo for a dollar to his run-ins with bushwhackers, bank robbers, and a bobcat. But through every situation, Nathan knows two things for certain: his friends will be there to help when they can, but more importantly, God is always looking out for him. So journey back to the Old West in these fast-paced tales...

WINSOME CHARACTERS ANY KID WILL LOVE!

My sons all enjoyed Nathan and his friends and adventures. The youngest boy especially got interested in reading because of Nathan and his dog and his travels west alone looking for his parents. I would recommend these books to any family. Great for girls too!

Great for that in-between boy age

Plenty of action and suspense, definitely written for boys, although girls will especially like the constant tension between Nathan and his friend, "not your girlfriend" Leah. This two-volume series has six stories of Nathan in the wild west of the mid 1800's. As a Christian mom, I love that Nathan is constantly firing off prayers during the many sticky situations he finds himself in. I read this to my two boys (5 and 13) right after the Lloyd Alexander "Taran" series, and both boys really enjoyed both series. In the ever-increasing struggle of finding exciting yet "safe" books to read with your kids, I was thrilled to find this series.
