Book One – Jenny Cameron’s Cattle Rustling Catastrophe
1889 California is full of cattle rustlers and cowboys. Jenny, newly arrived with her father to his family’s ranch, finds herself with a mystery she can’t wait to solve. Her grandmother’s new washerwoman is the spitting image of a notorious female cattle rustler, right down to the pearl-handled pistols she wears around her hips. “Annie O’Banyon” also happens to be the lead character in Jenny’s newest dime novel. The washerwoman’s arrival sets off a round of missing cattle.
This is too much of a coincidence for Jenny and her friend, Brose. They are convinced Annie and her gang are rustling the ranchers’ cattle. They do their best to persuade Jenny’s father and the sheriff, but their “tall tales” fall on skeptical ears.
Can Jenny and Brose stop the cattle rustlers? Jenny discovers that a girl who cries “cattle rustler” once too often must learn to think things through before plunging headlong into danger.
