Lonnie Gentry

Lonnie Gentry #1

by Peter Brandvold

Life has not been easy for young cowboy Lonnie Gentry. Lonnie and his mother live alone, working hard, raising cattle and horses on their remote Colorado mountain ranch. Now the thirteen-year-old must travel over perilous mountains to return money stolen by his mother's outlaw boyfriend to a deputy U.S. marshal.

On Lonnie's journey, he's joined by young Casey Stoveville, daughter of a sheriff killed by theoutlaws. The unlikely pair is attacked by an enraged grizzly, encounter a crazy ex-Confederate who may or may not be after the stolen money, and must battle the deadly outlaws shadowing their every< move, intent on killing them and retrieving the loot.

It's a man's job. And it's going to take a man -- and the woman the man loves -- to see it through.

[Violet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Maybe I have read too many westerns and expected a 13 year old to be a superman right off the bat, but upon completion of the book I can see that he did the typical "dumb" things that a 13 year old would do; the first big mistake being riding into town by himself with saddlebags being full of cash. However, as every good story goes, with the help of a friend, he does manage to stay ahead of the bad guys and all ends well. Good story.

Another great one from Branvold...a touch of Huck Finn in this story.
