Cassie's family''s ranch is struggling financially and the ranch will go under if the cows and calves aren't brought down safely from high summer pastures before the weather turns cold. The stakes are high: if the cattle are lost, so is the ranch and their way of life. Cassie and Jasper head for the mountains to bring the cattle home. Trail riding, camping, and herding cows is nothing new for the seasoned ranch kids, but an early snowstorm, rustlers, and other dangers turn the weekend into a fight for survival for kids and cattle alike. It will take all of their courage, cowboy skills, and some horse-shoe-charm good luck to get them and the cattle home.

Industry Reviews

Life on his family's Central Oregon ranch is pretty good for shy, bookish Jasper, except for two problems. He longs for a dog of his own and he is a target for the school bully, Colton. For Jasper's twelfth birthday he is allowed to choose a dog from the local shelter, and he feels an intense bond with Willie, an old dog whose blind eyes seem to see into Jasper's heart. Jasper has faith in his new companion, Willie, even though he is nothing like Colton's dog, the fastest agility racing dog in the county. At the County Fair that year, Colton's little sister disappears from the fairgrounds as wildfires rage nearby. Will Jasper and Willie be able to help find the girl in time and prove Willie's worth to the others? [From] the outstanding 'Range Rider' series by Bryn Fleming, 'Jasper and Willie: Wildfire' is a terrifically entertaining read from beginning to end and especially commended to the attention of young readers ages 8 to 12. 'Jasper and Willie: Wildfire' is very highly recommended for school and community library collections. -Children's Bookwatch

"Set in an unspecified time uncluttered by cellphones and the Internet, this compassionate adventure plays out . . . Paced at a smooth canter and tugging at the heartstrings. . . a call to action for middle-grade animal lovers." -Kirkus Reviews (Cassie and Jasper to the Rescue)
