Flash: The Story of Me (Rescue Animal)

Jeremiah, my best friend, says I'm as rowdy as popcorn on a hot stove. I knew it was a fool thing to do. Ride a mule in a horse race, but they double dog dared me. Who can back down from something like that? You'd do the same. While I gallop down Main Street in the July 4th race, a couple of low life's rob the bank and side swipe my Pa, taking him hostage. Jeremiah and I set out to track the outlaws and pay Pa's ransom, and that's where the plan goes crazy. I'm dragged out of my hiding place and everything goes downhill from there, but not before I swore myself in as the town Marshal. The job was open and somebody had to step up. An outlaw takes my horse, Sweet Fury, and forces us to take part in a robberu. A train robbery to be exact, which doesn't go so great. Trust me, this is a wild west tale that may be too exciting for some. Hang on to your hat and settle in for the ride. Don't say I didn't warn ya. Signed, Silver Belle.A chapter book for kids ages 8-10 who love the wild west, very smart horses, and Texas adventures.

The Great Train Caper (Trouble in Texas)

A local rancher and Texas Panhandle pioneer, Charles Goodnight, is credited with inventing the chuckwagon, an iconic part of the great cattle drives of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and a critical part of keeping cattle moving across the Great Plains. The fire-pit cooking techniques used to keep the hard-working cowhands fed are still popular today. And many experienced chuckwagon cooks are still hard at work today--chuckwagon cook-offs are a popular competitive arena for their skills. Keep 'Em Full and Keep 'Em Moving: The All-American Chuckwagon Cookbook is full of more than 100 recipes and the histories of the ranches. It also includes first-hand accounts of life on the range from the men and women who worked them alongside archival images and stunning food photography.

True heart's desire cannot be ignored... Destynee Olsen has always done everything her mother asked, without argument. But she never realized that the road to stardom might mean leaving behind a piece of her heart. Beginning to question whose dream she's really following, Destynee stumbles upon the power of gospel music and how she feels when she sings it.

Back home-and raising their only son-Travis Olsen is trying desperately to hold on to his vow to never stand in the way of Destynee's vision. But her path to stardom, as wondrous as it is, is slowly building in him feelings of resentment. And while there is no question that his wife has an unbelievable talent, he can no longer stomach watching their son grow up without a mother. Following the story of a woman whose mother said her destiny is much more important than she is, and a cowboy who refuses to upend his wife's lifelong dream, Destynee and Travis will have to figure out what's more important-their aspirations...or true heart's desire.
