When her father accepts a job at the Schafer Meadows Ranger Station in Montana's Great Bear Wilderness, Jessie Scott, 12, is devastated. She has to leave her best friends in New Mexico for a life without TV, cell phones, the Internet, or even electricity. To help ease the pain of moving, her father gets her a puppy. Together, Jessie and her dog, Oriole, explore their new home as Jessie seeks answers to strange happenings, stolen food, and a ghost that won't leave her alone.
Ms. Hodder's story depicts life in a remote Forest Service ranger station and describes a child's connection to the outdoors...that connection has all too often been lost.
-Abigail R. Kimbell, Chief, U. S. Forest Service
Beth Hodder captures the heart of readers with her strong characterizations and her obvious zest for the great Northwest wilderness. With bold honesty, Hodder accurately portrays the highs and lows of a teen who is suddenly taken from her friends and the convenience of city life and placed in whath many would call hardship conditions. The Ghost of Schafer Meadows is a good-coming-of age read for anyone interested in outdoor life, adventure and solid family connections.
