"Domingo," the burro the Hollisters were given for a pet the last time they were out West, is the innocent means by which the Hollisters once again find themselves following the mystery trail on horseback. Because of a near accident, the Hollister children meet and befriend the Blairs, who are from Nevada. They learn that Mr. Blair is trying to sell some of his property on the Tumbling K Ranch, but strange and eerie events have discouraged prospective buyers. Naturally, the minute the Hollisters hear mystery is involved they are eager to be in the thick of it. Their interest is further aroused when a prowler is discovered spying on them in Shoreham. What excitement there is then when they are invited to visit the Blairs and help them solve this baffling problem. Who is the strange and evil-looking man who tries to cause trouble for the Hollisters on their trip to Nevada? And who is the tall, lanky cowboy, Dakota Dawson, whose actions are so suspicious? And are the strange lights seen on the mountain man-made or some odd trick of nature? The Happy Hollisters find fun, adventure, danger, and the answers to the many questions posed by the mystery surrounding the Tumbling K Ranch. Paperback; 195 pages with 20 illustrations and over 20 bonus pages… (more)

The Happy Hollisters and the Cowboy Mystery (Happy Hollisters, #20)
This story finds the family accepting help from a stranger and his kids and they are invited to their ranch with lots of mysteries to solve.
He's just trying to sell part of his ranch but there appears to be ghosts on the mountain. The kids are so excited to go but many mishaps before they get there thanks to Joey telling a stranger of the familys plans.
So many adventures in town and in the wild. They meet some difficult times and some fun easy ones. Lots to learn along the way. ( )

Los Hollister es la serie de libros que me inició definitivamente en la lectura. Recuerdo haber leído el primero y, con todo el dinero que había ahorrado por mi primera comunión y en todos los años anteriores, ir a por los 32 restantes, que costaban 600 pelas cada uno. Los compré todos en la feria del libro de Ceuta, lo recuerdo perfectamente, y volví a mi casa con dos bolsas y una mochila llenas de libros, que me duraron tres meses exactamente, para sorpresa/preocupación de mi madre.
Cada libro es el mismo, con aventuras algo diferentes, y con los mismo personajes, que no evolucionan nada en toda la serie. Pete, Pam, Holly, Ricky, Sue, puedo recitar sus nombres treinta años después sin consultarlo. Yo siempre fui de los Hollister, despreciando a quieres eran de los siete secretos, los Cinco o (puaj) Puck.
Junto a Mortadelo, los tres investigadores de Alfred Hitchcock y (a petición de mi padre) las aventuras de Guillermo, comenzaron a formar mi universo lector. Y por ello, aunque sean libros de lo más intrascendente, los considero fundamentales. ( )
