Seriously? Maybe an innocent & ignorant child would like the page-turning adventure, but this corny book is implausible, sexist, and culturally insensitive. I'm sure the author meant well, as he does have let the girls have adventures, and does 'teach' the reader about 'Mexican customs.' But if the
I think the worst part is the way the kids keep getting into scrapes, and are still allowed by their parents to take even bigger risks the next day.

Bad guys irl are not so easily fooled....

The Happy Hollisters at Mystery Mountain: (Volume 5) by Jerry West
This story follows the family as they have left the Indians in New Mexico and there is a lead to a friend of the dad and they locate him and go to visit on his ranch.
They soon learn there is a bully in the area and he harms the kids.
The kids have found other kids visiting relatives and they have a book that explains where to find the mystery in the mountain. They are warned to stay away from the mountain areas.
Love the caretaker on the ranch who can predict weather and it's usually ONLY ever good to go fishing. Love learning more about sheep, so cool facts!
Kids love doing that also! So many dangerous things but it doesn't stop the kids at all. Love the plane rides!
