Mystery At Deep Ravine

A beautifully written collection of adventure/mystery novels, the Jake Montana Mystery Series is an exciting mix of cowboy, futuristic science and Native American mysticism. Jake tackles problems any teenaged boy would face - in this case her name is Pamela Kramer - and problems some teenagers only dream about - such as a flight back through time to the Wild Wild West. It is just this kind of spectacular imagery coupled and cliff-hanger thrills that make it a successful series of quality young adult novels.
