"Readers of Roy Bush's Whitewater Crossing will identify with the hero, Casey Jones, as he continues his journey from New York City to confident young ranch hand for his uncle in the 1920's. His adventures and perils keep the reader eagerly turning pages. The book has a well-woven, fast moving plot, with enough history included to educate without the reader even knowing it is happening. A plus for locals is the Inland Empire background and its ranching lifestyle of the time, viewed from the heart by the author. I heartily recommend this exciting book for young readers, or even those not so young!" YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC. This is the second book in the Casey Jones Adventure Series that begins with Goshawk.

Follow once again their hilarious antics as they take another voyage of discovery in search for chalices.
