Overview

"Ruby May Oliver lives a good life on the rugged Colorado mountain trails of the 1890s with her pa. As the author tells us, Ruby ""had faced mountain lions, grizzlies, wolves, rattlesnakes, and angry badgers; she'd hiked miles through a snowstorm, had her toes frozen, her nose frost-nipped, and climbed to the top of tall peaks."" In Trouble Returns, the third in the series, she faces her greatest challenge yet-school. With the help of Maude and Trouble, her donkey and cat, she outsmarts the school bully and an outlaw train robber. If you haven't met Ruby, Maude, and Trouble, you're in for a treat and a surprise ending. Enjoy! - Lois Ruby, author of Steal Away Home"
