A writer of children’s books and country songs, Buck Buchanan lives
near Bozeman, Montana, but his personal background is ranching in
Idaho, where most of his family still lives. The lead character in
this story, Denni-Jo, is based on his cousin’s daughter, and he is
quite passionate about girls being able to read books about real
girls succeeding in real life ranching. A recently retired high
school science teacher, Buck is also a Gallatin County Brand
Inspector, so he’s able to stay in touch with his ranching
roots.

"The determined cowgirl has to use all she's learned growing up on
the ranch to navigate her way around dangerous situations, follow
the right trail, and help an animal in trouble... Inspiring and
just plain fun to read whether you're seven or fifty-seven."
--Cowgirl Magazine
"Spirited 7-year-old buckaroo Denni-Jo, atop her frisky pony Pinto,
gets permission to rideacross her family’s ranch to visit her
grandparents. But the journey isn’t as easy as it sounds. Along the
way they get scared by a rattlesnake, spooked by a runaway
jackrabbit, and even find a calf stuck in a mud hole. Can
Denni-Jo’s riding and roping skills save the calf before the
worried momma cow closes in? 'The determined cowgirl has to use all
she’s learned growing up on the ranch to navigate her way around
dangerous situations, follow the right trail, and help an animal in
trouble ... Inspiring and just plain fun to read whether you’re 7
or 57,' writes Cowgirl Magazine. Buck Buchanan, a singer/songwriter
with the popular band www.Twang, taught eighth-grade science for 22
years and now works as a brand inspector. Raised on a cattle ranch
in southwest Idaho, he says this story is based on the skill set of
a real cowgirl. Christina Wald’s colorful illustrations gallop
across the page, capturing the flavor and fun of western life.
