I am generally fond of these kinds of older kids books but this one is not a great one. Polly lives in a ranch which is improbably located in an extinct volcano crater and it just gets stranger from there on. A former local teacher brings two sisters to stay at the ranch for the summer and I can see all the "Stuck Up CIty Girls Learn Homespun Charm" and that is in there a bit but I did not see the adventures of riding into the mountains and blizzards and way more. It is left on a cliff show more hanger for the next book and i am sure man more books with these characters but I don't think I will seek those out. The what I suppose is comic relief of Sary was just not funny. show less
Dnf. The story was good; the interruptions by the author so she could preach on morality and health were not.
