None No current Talk conversations about this book.  paulashreckhise | Dec 9, 2023 |   Young Ben Wilder wants to be the sheriff when he grows up. Cassie Bucknell is only five years old, but loves Ben. This is a prequel to The Cactus Creek Challenge. I will definitely have to read it now. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. (  ) Carlathelibrarian | Feb 5, 2019 | The book may be short, but it was filled with such riveting characters and excitement till the end. What a thrill it was for Ben to see his dad, the sheriff stand up to a gang and become a hero with fierce and cunning plans. The Dickerson Gang, well known for their violence were coming to get their brother out of jail. What they didn't know was a man with strong values and a commitment to uphold the law would stand in the way of their plan. I loved this fast paced and whitty style of writing. Thank you for taking me back to the days of watching Saturday morning westerns . The book is filled with the feel of the old west and ends with you wanting to follow Ben, the son as he begins his journey. . His dad was a legend . Will Ben be able to live up to that standard ? Can he show the town how brave , and strong he is as he steps into the shoes as sheriff of Cactus Creek? The answers await readers in "The Cactus Creek Challenge."

Ben Wilder had taken over sheriff duties when his father retired. Obadiah was a legend and Ben wonders if he can live up to the Wilder name.
This recounts an event when Obadiah came up against a notorious gang of outlaws. It also introduces Cassie Bucknell which sets up the next book about Cassie and Ben. I can’t wait to read their story.
