Walking Up a Rainbow

Susan Carlisle has lost both of her parents and is about to lose her home that is unless she comes up with enough money to pay off her father's debts! Susan schemes a cattle driver into coming and driving her sheep all the way out west to help payoff the money! You will like Susan because she is one spunky and determined girl! The adventures she goes though to get that money will make the book unable to be put down! As well as getting Clay Carmer a cattle drover to fall in love with her. Even though this book is told from two point's of view (Clay's and Susan's) this is probably a books girls would enjoy more than boys though it is easy for anyone to get hooked!

This was an excellent book and I recommend this book to anyone who wants a bit of spicy romance, and adventure. I loved Susan's cocky and witty personality. All the characters are extremely interesting and the humor is funny. You'd love Clay Carmer, the Texas cowboy and how he saves Susan from being raped. Please you HAVE to read this book!

Susan a young girl who's parents have died in a buggie accident struggled to get money from selling her sheep in california to pay back the debt on her house and the land.

"Walking Up A Rainbow" is one of my favorite books--I read it a day within checking it out of the library. I bought it a month later, and it sits by my bed with all my other favorite books. I know it is meant for 13-15 year old readers, but I'm 17 and loved it, and my mother also loved it. Susan is a great heroine and the ending is wonderful...I encourage everyone to buy this book if they see it. After reading it I'm sure you'll want to go on a cross-country adventure, too! Great historical facts, also.
