Jesse and Cash and The Fool's Gold
Jesse Longed for Adventure...

on a horse instead of sweeping out the ranger station. When Gus

his luck.
He soon discovered that the mountain was not just all fun.
There were dangers. He encountered adventures with Gus and
Patch, pictured on the cover, and performed feats that he had never
imagined, especially with the fool's gold.
Find out how Jesse learns to live in the wilderness, helps to keep
the wilderness green, and enjoys working with the llamas, Patch and
Squirt. Follow Jesse onto the sacred ground that surrounds fool's
gold.

Review
Jesse and Cash and The Fool's Gold really kept me interested. There is a lot
of valuable information about Crow Indians and their traditions, dinosaurs, artifacts,
etc. I enjoyed learning about the wilderness volunteer work of repairing trails,
building bridges, and enforcing camping rules. Kids will identify with the computer
and Jesse's good connections with his friends. The writing is very descriptive
with humor and good vocabulary.
