Double Review: Andi Dreams of Gold / Andi Far from Home by Susan K Marlow

Blurb (from Amazon):

Andi Carter has gold fever! Someone near town has struck it rich. Now Andi can't stop wondering if there might be some of the glittery metal in the creeks on the Circle C ranch. Her brothers agree that she might find something that sparkles. But they laugh whenever they talk about it. Andi is determined--when she finds gold, she'll be the one laughing!

Her friend Cory is excited to track down treasure too, and together they set off on an adventure. Panning for gold is cold, wet, tiring work. But Andi and Cory won't give up.

Success! Just when they discover what they're looking for, real trouble shows up: a spring storm, a missing horse, and a frightening bear. And those are just the beginning.

My Review: 

Andi Dreams of Gold is the fifth installment from Circle C Stepping Stones series. This time Andi finds herself in trouble by looking for gold with her friend, Cory. The story made my daughter giggle and we both enjoyed their adventure. A good story to teach children lessons and inspiration. Andi and her family are good role models for readers. 

I give Andi Dreams of Gold five stars. Highly recommended for young readers 7-10 years old. 

I received this book from the author, but was not required to write a review. This review is 100% my own honest opinion. 

Blurb (from Amazon):

When Fresno is hit with an unexpected outbreak of deadly scarlet fever, Andi Carter is scared. Her town friends are getting sick and school is closed until it passes. Far from the danger, at least Andi has her horse Taffy and plenty of work on the Circle C ranch to distract her.

But is she really safe? First one ranch hand, then two, and then her brother Mitch fall ill. Mother is convinced that the only way to protect Andi from this terrible disease is to send her far away to fussy Aunt Rebecca in San Francisco.

The noisy city and Aunt Rebecca's bossy ways may be worse than scarlet fever. But then Andi has an idea that might help save her friends back home . . .

My Review: 

Andi Far from Home is book six from Susan K Marow's series, Circle C Stepping Stones. In this installment, Andi has to be sent away to her Aunt Rebecca's house in San Francisco, California,  because of a scarlet fever outbreak in her home town. She has quite a bit of an adjustment going from the ranch to the big city. As usual, she gets into some trouble.

Andi Far from Home is my favorite of the series so far. I give it five plus stars.
