Circle C Adventures - Set of 8

Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home

Andrea Carter and the Dangerous Decision

This book finds Andi nearly trampling her new teacher in a reckless, impromptu horse race down the main street of Fresno, California—not a good way to start the fall 1880 school term.

This anniversary edition of another exciting adventure in the Old West of the 1880s with beloved heroine Andi Carter is sure to be a favorite addition to schoolgirl bookshelves.

Andrea Carter and the Family Secret

Andrea Carter is no stranger to trouble, but her carefree ranch life is about to be turned upside down in ways she never could have imagined.

Who is the half-dead man Andi and her friends find lying in the creek? Who are the travel-weary young woman and three unruly children who suddenly show up at the Circle C? Why has Andi's family been keeping such an important secret from her?

Angry and hurt at being left out, Andi saddles Taffy and sets out to find some answers--answers she wouldn't have guessed in a million years. How far will Andi go to rescue those she loves, whose lives depend on her protection?

Andrea Carter and the San Francisco Smugglers

When a winter flood submerges the streets of Fresno, the town has no choice but to close the school for repairs. Andi couldn't be happier. She plans to spend her unexpected holiday out on the range with her palomino mare, Taffy. But Andi's dreams are dashed when she's sent to San Francisco--doomed to spend the rest of the winter at Miss Whitaker's Academy for Young Ladies.

Andi doesn't know how she'll endure two months of city life until she's introduced to her new roommate, the untamable Jenny. She also meets Lin Mei, a mistreated servant girl who works at the school. When Andi and Jenny discover a dreadful secret that endangers Lin Mei, they rush to her rescue, only to find themselves trapped in the dark alleys of Chinatown.

Can the girls outwit their captors and escape a horrible fate?

Andrea Carter and the Trouble with Treasure

When innocent horseplay temporarily lands Andi and her friends in jail, they decide that a trip into the mountains will leave their troubles far behind. Accompanied by big brother Mitch and armed with a map showing old gold diggings, they can't wait to strike it rich. What could be better than two weeks of camping and horseback riding?

But instead of gold they find heaps of trouble--trouble that leaves Mitch gravely wounded. Andi needs help fast. But who can she trust? And what good is a bag of gold when her beloved brother lies near death in the middle of nowhere?

Andrea Carter and the Price of Truth

Thirteen-year-old Andi Carter wants to surprise her mother with the perfect birthday gift. But earning the money for it proves harder than she expects. It takes time, but at last, one of Andi's ideas is working out. . . until the day she witnesses a back-alley crime that places a beloved citizen at the scene. A divided town and the suspect's vengeful younger bother put pressure on Andi to admit she made a mistake.

When her horse, Taffy, disappears, Andi must reexamine her conscience and make a decision: Is the price of telling the truth worth losing Taffy forever?
