A must-read for Tweens.

Horses, adventure, and the old West - mixed with a solid message for today's tweens. Twelve-year-old Andrea 'Andi' Carter attracts trouble the way her palomino horse, Taffy, attracts flies on a hot summer day.

Andi's entire family and the staff at the Circle C Ranch treat her like such a pesky kid that she sometimes wonders if they would all be better off without her. After a particularly scary incident where Andi gets in trouble once again, she saddles up Taffy and runs away from home. But her escape quickly leads to frightening encounters with a horse thief and a vicious young lady. All of which makes Andi realize that there really is no place like home.
